A reference is invited to para 2.1 of Deptt. of P&PW OM No. 38/37/2016-P&PW (A)(ii) dated 04.08.2016 wherein it has clearly been stated that "these orders shall apply to all pensioners/ family pensioners who were drawing pension / family pension before 1.1.2016 under the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules,1972, Central Civil Services (Extraordinary Pension) Rules and the corresponding rules applicable to Railway pensioners and pensioners of All India Services, including officers of the Indian Civil Service retired from service on or after 1.1.1973".

2. Further, para 9 of the aforesaid OM states that "All Pension Disbursing Authorities including Public Sector Banks handling disbursement of pension to the Central Government pensioners have been authorized to pay pension/family pension to existing pensioners / family pensioners at the revised rates without any further authorization from the concerned Accounts Officers/Head of Office etc". CPAO has also clarified vide point No.9 of its clarification issued to the banks at Annexure-II of its communication number CPAO/IT&Tech/ Revision (7th CPC)/19 Vol-III/2016-17 / 124 dated 30.08.2016

3. However, complaints from All India Service Pensioners, who are drawing their pension through State Governments, are being received in CPAO that the banks have not revised their pensions for want of any instruction from respective AGs/Designated Authorities

Keeping in view the grievances of AIS pensioners, banks are advised to comply with the instructions of para 9 of DP&PW OM dated 04.08.2016 and make payment to AIS pensioners immediately.

This issues with the approval of Chief Controller (Pensions).
