Yes now it is too easy to confirm if your pension has been transfered to SPARSH or not now using this simple method. The pension disbursement System of Defence Pensioners have been completely changed in this year . The phase wise migration from Bank to SPARSH has already been started from July 2021 and 100% Pension cases of retiring of Defence civilian and Combatants are being processed through SPARSH within a few months. Defence Pensioners are too confused on SPARSH related issues. Many of them have received msg on their phone or email ID regarding Login User name and Password of SPARSH. But as on date most of pensioners have not received any Login User ID/name or Password till date. Some are confused whether, their mobile number and email ID is registered with PCDA or not. Your doubt will be cleared after reading this article.

We can now categorise the entire defence pensioners based on SPARSH migration status into three categories :

Category I : Pensioners who have not received their SPARSH User ID and Password.

SPARSH User ID/User name and Password will be received by the Pensioner concerned once it has been generated by the PCDA and communicated by them. They will send you as soon your data is migrated from Bank/DPDO to SPARSH. If you are a pre 16 pensioner, you should wait as the pension of pre-2016 pensioners are yet to be migrated. As soon as your pension system migrated from Bank to SPARSH you will be intimated on your Bank/Adhaar registered mobile number and email ID both. If you have not linked any email ID in your bank, no matter, you will receive it through Mobile SMS. You don’t need to be worried. Your duty is to keep your bank and adhaar linked mobile number live and updated. Check msg at least twice a week. By April 2022, most of the pension cases of defence pensioners will be migrated to SPARSH.
