Subject:- Incorporation of Aadhaar number in fresh Pension payment Orders (PPOs).

Attention is invited to CPAO 0M NO. CPAO/Tech/Jeevan Pramaan/2015-16/1770 dated 07.03.2016 (Annex-I) and DO. letter dated 30.07.2015 from CGA to all Secretaries (Civil Ministries) regarding incorporation of Aadhaar number in the fresh PPOs (Annex-Il). In this context. it is observed that progress in incorporation of Aadhaar numbers in the fresh PPOs has been very low. For the period July, 2015 to March, 2016 out of 25608 total fresh PPOs received in CFAO, only in 1907 (7.45%) cases Aadhaar number was mentioned.

2. In view of Aadhaar Cards numbers crossing 100 crores marks and implementation of Aadhaar linked Biometric Attendance System in most of the central government offices, it is very unlikely that a retiring government servant will not have Aadhaar number. Further, DOPT vide its 0M No. Z-20025/9/2014-Estt (AL) dated-03.11.2014 (Annex-ill) had requested all Ministries/Departments to ensure that the Service Books Of all employees have an entry of Aadhaar number.

3. In view Of above. all pr. CCAs/CCAs/CAs are once again requested to take up the matter With JS (Admn) and Heads of Offices of respective Ministries/ Departments to arrange for providing Aadhaar number in all pension papers to be submitted to concerned PAOs to enable them to incorporate the same in PPO booklets.
