You may see the public count move up and down by a few names. That is the platform removing unverified entries. The ask has not changed.
Why the name still matters
PCDA(P) told the Central Information Commission (CIC) on 15 Jul 26:
9,41,924 pensioners had never logged into SPARSH. Pensioners are to be asked only for mobile, email and address. Fields already on the PPO — name, date of birth, qualifying service, family endorsement, handicapped child and legal guardian, disability, additional pension — sit with the Pension Sanctioning Authority.
Those 9.41 lakh will not open a portal to correct a migration they did not design. A signature is a written request that CGDA / PCDA(P) do that work from records they already hold.
This is not a dharna. It is one minute, from home, at no cost. We served the country. This is a smaller thing we can still do for our own.
If you have signed: thank you. Please ask at least one family member or course-mate to sign in the next 24 hours.
Jai Hind.
Lt Col RK Bhardwaj (Retd),
Dehradun
