"After the launch of RODRA website, various types of Pension Payment Order (PPOs) issued by PCDA (P) from time to time to veterans has now been discontinued, thereby saving of manpower, stationery, and postal charges. The PPOs are now uploaded on the website and veterans are able to download it from the website. Monitoring and management of grievances of veterans have been streamlined, thereby improving satisfaction levels," the release added.
