NAVAL PENSION OFFICES

POSTED BY Cmde SUDHEER PARKALA, IN, Retd.

There are basically three organisations which are dealing with the pensions details of which are
given below:
Naval Pension Office (Navpen). This is a newly created organisation which looks into the pensions
of officers and Sailors. It is co-located with INS Tanaji and is headed by Logistic Officer-in-Charge of
the rank of a Commodore. SO (Pensions) Officers and SO(Pensions) Sailors under him look after all
pension matters. Issue of all PPOs and Corr PPOs are also coordinated by him. For all queries
regarding your pensions you can write to him directly. The address of NAVPEN is given below:

Naval Pay Office (Navpay). This old Naval Pay Office continues to disburse all terminal benefits to
officers and sailors on release/retirement since Navpen does not have cash assignment. Some of
the records are still held by Naval Pay Office but eventually all the records will also go to Navpen at
Mankhrud. In case you haven’t received your terminal benefits on retirement, you can write to
Navpay keeping Navpen informed. The Naval Pay Office address is given below:

PCDA (Navy) Pension Cell. The PCDA (Navy) Pension Cell is now located opposite Naval Pay
Office and deals with issue of all PPOs and Corr PPOs. For all matters related to PPOs, Corr PPOs
or corrections there of, you may write to them copy to Navpen, Mankhrud or write to Navpen copy to
PCDA (Pensions). The main Office of PCDA(Navy) is located at Cooperage near bandstand Mumbai
but the Pension cell is now located opposite Naval Pay Office. The address is given below:

INS Tanaji. The Commodore Bureau of Sailors (CABs) at Cheeta camp, Mankhrud, Mumbai was
commissioned as a full fledged establishment on 10 Jul 2012. Co, INS Tanaji (old CABs) will deal
with all matters of recruiting, Manpower planning of sailors and deal with transfers and promotions of
all sailors. The OI/C Release centre is merged with LOIC, Navpen and therefore all Release
formalities of Sailors are also looked after by LOIC, Navpen including for Officers. NHQ (PDPA) who
was dealing with Officer’s pensions will now be looked after by Navpen only. Veterans are therefore
advised not to write to CO, INS Tanaji (Old CABs) on any matters pertaining to veteran officers and
sailors.
The Navy has taken note of various difficulties faced by Officers and Sailors in receiving the
Pensions through banks and CPPCs. The Navy is planning to therefore establish a full fledged
Navpen with cash disbursement authority. Once it is approved, Navpen will directly calculate the
pensions and arrears and credit the amounts to the bank accounts of Pensioners/Families every
month without the need for CPPCs. Till this happens, we will have to depend upon CPPCs.
I therefore request Naval veterans to kindly make a note as also disseminate to all your friends who
are not Members of TSEWA. You are welcome to take up various issues directly /through TSEWA
for my attention. I will take up the cases at appropriate level and ensure speedy resolution of the
problems.
