Thank you for your message. Kindly note that ESM Corner is not the authority for SPARSH migration. This process is handled by PCDA (Pensions) / Record Offices.
Please be informed that over 4 lakh defence pensioners are still awaiting migration to SPARSH, and your case is not an isolated one. Since you are receiving pension regularly through PNB, there is no immediate issue.

We fully agree that civil/mobile numbers of the booking staff are essential for veterans, as military lines are often inaccessible after retirement. We have already initiated multiple RTI requests to obtain the latest mobile numbers and email IDs of all stations.
The details will be updated on the platform as soon as we receive verified information from the concerned authorities.

Please note that the Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) does not undertake individual house construction on privately owned plots. AWHO’s role is limited to developing and allotting housing projects (flats, plots, or dwelling units) at specific approved locations across India, where eligible serving or retired defence personnel can register and apply for allotment.
Your words reflect deep respect and emotional attachment to the fauj, which truly defines the spirit of generations who have served the nation with pride. 🙏
It’s true — the Indian Air Force offers a unique blend of discipline and comfort, with modern infrastructure and comparatively better quality of life, especially for ground duty officers. Yet, every service — Army, Navy, or Air Force — carries its own honour, challenges, and charm that make the uniform so special.
Regarding the new generation’s shift in priorities, the world today offers many options — MNC jobs, startups, and opportunities abroad — but the sense of purpose, respect, and lifelong pride that comes with wearing the uniform can never be matched by any corporate package.
As for the political apprehensions, it’s important to remember that the Indian Armed Forces have always remained apolitical, secular, and professional. Their strength lies in unity, discipline, and their deep-rooted ethos of “Nation First, Always and Every Time.”
On your remark that “the contract soldier through the Agniveer scheme is, in fact, an RSS Sena,” we respectfully disagree with this view. The Agniveer scheme is a government policy initiative implemented by the Ministry of Defence, not by any political or ideological organisation. The soldiers recruited under this scheme undergo the same rigorous training, follow the same code of conduct, and serve under the same Constitution and military discipline as any other member of the Indian Armed Forces. Their loyalty is to the Tricolour — not to any political colour.
The Armed Forces stand above politics, caste, or religion, and it’s our collective duty as veterans and citizens to preserve and defend that neutrality and honour.
Your closing line — “I would like to join the Army even in my next life” — truly captures the eternal spirit of soldiering
Yes, but only for Serving and veteran persons and dependents of tri services, no guests will be entertained
NO

more then 6 lakh pensioners are not yet migrated, so please wait some more days
Respected Sir,
Thank you for sharing your detailed observations. Please find our response point-wise below:
Bank Issues: Yes sir, we have received several similar complaints regarding Union Bank. It is preferable to transfer your pension account to another bank offering a Defence Pension Account, as such banks generally provide better facilities and support.
Nominee / Trustee: I do not have specific information regarding the nominee being treated as a trustee or full owner. It may vary based on the institution’s policy.
Nominee Details: The complete information can best be verified by personally visiting the concerned bank branch and confirming that all nominee details are correctly updated.
Complaint Handling: If the bank does not respond to complaints, the matter should be escalated to the Defence Banking Advisor (DBA) of the respective bank. The DBA is usually a retired Service officer and is known to handle such issues effectively.
Grievance Redressal: Yes, it is true that the CPGRAMS system often works like a forwarding mechanism without clear resolution. In such cases, filing a precise RTI usually yields better and more concrete results.
Warm regards,
Team ESM Corner

Sir, thank you very much for your valuable feedback. 🙏 Yes, you are absolutely right — pension systems also exist for Central and State Government employees with their own respective rules and portals. However, this particular article has been written specifically for defence personnel, as it is authored by a veteran and our platform mainly caters to the needs and information requirements of ex-servicemen and their families. We truly appreciate your suggestion, and we’ll certainly consider creating a comparative article in the future covering both defence and civil pension systems for better understanding.

Sir you might be using the SPARSH App which has been discontinued use SPARSH Website instead
yes, it is for Tri services.
Sir, we understand your concern and the difficulty faced in this situation.
As per the existing ECHS policy, only drugs listed in the Central Drug List (CDL) are eligible for reimbursement. Since the prescribed injection is not part of the CDL, the claim has been rightly rejected as per current norms.
If this was a one-time expense of around ₹12,000, it may be practical to let it go rather than pursue lengthy correspondence. However, if the injection is required repeatedly or involves significant recurring expenditure, you may consider taking further action:
Send a legal notice addressed to the ECHS BPA (Bill Processing Agency), your ECHS Polyclinic, and the Station Headquarters / Regional Centre ECHS, clearly stating the facts and your claim.
Wait for 15 days for a response.
In case of no reply or unsatisfactory response, you may file a complaint in the District Consumer Court on grounds of medical service deficiency and financial loss.
This approach ensures that your case is placed formally on record and examined through proper legal and administrative channels.
Thank you for your valuable suggestion, sir. The concern regarding the car cost limit for personnel under Groups 3 to 5 is well noted. However, such revisions and policy changes fall under the purview of the CSD Directorate and the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
It is therefore requested that you kindly address this representation directly to the CSD Department or MoD through the proper channel, so that the matter can be duly examined and considered.
Warm regards,
Team ESM Corner
You cant buy it before 8 years after purchasing first one
Admission for Surgery with ECHS Referral:
If the patient is admitted to an empanelled hospital with a valid ECHS referral, all expenses related to treatment, surgery, medicines, investigations, and hospitalization will be cashless and covered as per ECHS guidelines. The hospital is not to charge the beneficiary for any service included in the approved treatment package.
Patient Unable to Travel:
In genuine medical emergencies, the patient may be admitted directly to the nearest empanelled hospital without prior referral. The hospital will provide emergency intimation to the respective ECHS Polyclinic within 24 hours for approval.
Post-Discharge Follow-Up:
A single ECHS referral remains valid for 90 days and allows up to six (06) consultations with the specialist for the same ailment during this period. After 90 days or after completing 6 visits (whichever is earlier), a new referral will be required from the ECHS Polyclinic.
Thank you for your kind words, Sir. Yes, “off course” has now been corrected to “of course.” I truly appreciate your attention to detail.
You may obtain the required information by filing an RTI application with your Record Office; they will subsequently forward it to AGIF for necessary action.
FOR PENSIONERS TOO
YES SIR WILL PROVIDE YOU SOON
Thank you very much sir for your kind words. I am truly glad to know that you found the information useful. Your willingness to share it with your ex-servicemen buddies will surely help many more veterans who are still unaware of these important pension details.
Convert it to pension through the bank where you hold your account.
We regret to inform you that we do not have the authority to grant access. Kindly visit the SPARSH website to complete the process directly.
Thank you.
