Para 14.26 — MSO (A&E)
Original Rule Text
14.26 The Accountant General should, before he issues Pension Payment Orders for Territorial and Political pensions, require information regarding the parentage, residence, date of birth, height and any personal marks facilitating identification of the pensioner, and should enter these particulars in the Pay Order unless specifically exempted from the operation of the provision by the State/Central rules.
What This Means
Before issuing Pension Payment Orders for territorial and political pensions, the AG must collect identifying information about the pensioner: parentage, residence, date of birth, height, and any personal identifying marks. These details are entered in the Pay Order to facilitate identification of the pensioner and prevent fraud. This requirement can be waived only if the State or Central rules specifically exempt a particular case.

Practical Example
The AG is processing a pension for the descendant of a former princely state ruler. Before issuing the PPO, the AG collects the pensioner's details: father's name, current residence in Jaipur, date of birth (15 March 1960), height (5'8"), and a scar on the left hand as an identifying mark. These are entered on the PPO so the Treasury Officer can verify the pensioner's identity at the time of payment.
