Defense Accounts Outreach in Siliguri for Pensioners
Imagine a special event held to help veterans and retired defense employees with their pensions.
The event was organized by the Controller of Defence Accounts.
The event helped them understand how their pensions work, how they can get help with any problems they have, and how they can get their pension money directly into their bank accounts without any middleman.
They were also shown how to update their records online.
The event was part of a government effort to bring services closer to people, particularly those in areas with limited access to technology.
The event was organized by the Controller of Defence Accounts (CDA) of Patna.
It was held at the Bengdubi military station in Siliguri.
The event was named SPARSH (System for Pension Administration).
The goal was to address pension-related concerns of ex-servicemen.
Pensions are now directly credited to the pensioners' bank accounts.
