Ministry of Defence Launches SPARSH Portal for Online Defence Pension Management
The SPARSH (System for Pension Administration-Raksha) portal, introduced by the Ministry of Defence, enables defence pensioners from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and defence civilians to access and track pension payments, entitlements, Pension Payment Order (PPO) details, and life certificate status online. The platform streamlines pension administration by providing a transparent, digital interface for verifying pension records, identifying discrepancies, and managing pension-related documents, supporting the government's Digital India initiative.
