CGDA has launched a system of providing monthly pension statements to pensioners drawing their pensions from Defence Pension Disbursing Offices (DPDOs).
Pensioners have to provide minimal details to their DPDOs for receiving their monthly statements through email or SMS.
The format for availing the facility can be accessed by clicking here.
A good step, but what is needed at the earliest is a change in the attitude of those manning these offices. DPDOs remain one of the most user-unfriendly offices mired in complex red-tapism resulting in extreme agony to our pensioners, especially disabled personnel and widows. Even complaints against DPDOs are not promptly attended by their controlling agencies.

A must read : Gopalkrishna Gandhi
Off-topic, but this my friends is a must-read piece by Mr Gopalkrishna Gandhi.
For the uninitiated, Mr Gandhi served in the IAS before taking up diplomatic appointments which included the Ambassadorship of Norway and Iceland. Of course, he was the Governor of West Bengal too from 2004 – 2009.
Thought provoking indeed !
