THE SPARSH CRISIS IN BRIEF
SPARSH caused severe hardship to lakhs of super-senior Ex-Servicemen (ESM) 70–95 years, martyr widows & rural/non-tech-savvy pensioners. Over 50% legacy data migration resulted in blank/wrong entries, erroneous pensions & dignity violations. Instead of CGDA/PCDA(P) correcting the data themselves using 2017 ePPOs & old records, the entire burden was shifted onto aged veterans living in remote areas.
COMPLETE STORY – HOW OUR
CHANGE.ORG PETITION WAS REPEATEDLY STOPPED FROM REACHING HON’BLE PM & RM
▪️Petition “Fix SPARSH Now” (5,152 signatures incl former
#COAS & Lt Gens)
chng.it/TV6FgTznMb
formally addressed to Hon’ble Prime Minister (PMOPG/E/2025/0069837) & Defence Minister (MODEF/E/2025/0004827) on 18 May 25.
▪️Both were misrouted by MoD/FADS to CGDA ➡️ PCDA(P).
▪️Sh Dhritiman Bhattacharya SAO PCDA(P) closed them evasively as “suggestions, not grievances”.
▪️Appeals filed. Speaking order by Sh Roopwant Soni CDA PCDA(P) explicitly acknowledged the petition was addressed to PM & RM with demands for CAG audit, data correction, additional manpower & bank opt-out for vulnerable pensioners — yet closed on instructions from Jt CGDA Smt Molly Sengupta.
▪️RTI with PMO confirmed PMOPG was forwarded to FADS. FAA PMO advised consulting FADS regarding action as may have been taken.
▪️On FAA PMO advice, RTI filed with MoD. Transferred to CGDA as CGDFA/R/T/26/00058.
▪️CPIO PCDA(P) Sh Pranjal Srivastava ACDA replied partially & enclosed proof that PCDA(P) had requested CGDA vide letter dt 26.06.25 to forward the matter to Hon’ble PM & RM offices. For Points 2 & 3, information “not readily available”.
▪️First Appeal dismissed by FAA PCDA(P) confirming, "action taken by CPIO consistent".
▪️Another fresh RTI with MoD again transferred to CGDA. Same evasion continued.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
▪️Fresh PMOPG/E/2026/0062079 filed on 13 Apr 26 directly to Hon’ble Prime Minister with full 13-page proof.
Again transferred to PCDA(P) – Sh Abhijeet Singh, ACDA on 17 Apr 26. The same old loop continues.
▪️RTI DMAND/R/E/26/06906 filed with Dept of Military Affairs has been forwarded to CPIOs Army, Navy, Air Force & DESW (new regn DEXSW/R/T/26/00442).
▪️Fresh RTI filed on 18 Apr 26 with FADS (MODEF/R/E/26/07097) specifically asking reply to Points 2 & 3 of earlier RTI Unanswered.
📌MESSAGE TO FADS, CGDA
WE WILL CONTINUE FILING RTIs, CPGRAMs & TWEETING EVERY WEEK UNTIL THE HON’BLE PM & RM COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF
#SPARSH CATASTROPHIC CRISIS. SENIOR & SUPER-SENIOR ESM & WIDOWS CANNOT BE BURDENED WITH UPDATING THEIR OWN BLANK & WRONG DATA. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CORRECTION LIES WITH CGDA/PCDA(P) ITSELF.
REQUEST TO
#CDS & TRI-SERVICES
#CHIEFS🎖️
ESM request Gen Anil Chauhan
#CDS, Gen Upendra Dwivedi
#COAS, Adm Dinesh K Tripathi
#CNS & Air Chief Marshal AP Singh
#CAS to appraise the Hon’ble Prime Minister about
#SPARSH crisis for welfare of your own ESM without further delay.
HUMBLE APPEAL 🇮🇳
Hon’ble Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi Ji & Defence Minister Sh Rajnath Singh Ji — kindly intervene personally & direct immediate resolution:
▪️bulk data correction by CGDA/PCDA(P) themselves.
▪️temporary bank opt-out for ESM above 70 years & family pensioners till SPARSH stabilises.
