If any of the family pensioners you come across got less arrears than as indicated above, please help them to get correct amount. The ESM organisations need to be proactive on this matter.

I hope this information will be of much help to the aged family pensioners, also you will have the satisfaction that you have helped some one. Pray God, your grand parents to live longer to get more pension. Please look after them well with the help of this pension. If any of the aged pensioner is unable to get their date of birth, try to convince the Banker with their voter identity cards, exservicemen identity cards, esm widows identity cards (Pink colour card) or civil family cards etc. The readers of this blog may take a print out, and paste in the notice boards of all the Zilla sainik boards, ECHS Poly clinics and all CSD/ ESM canteens for their information. If necessary translate into local language suitably.
