5. Development of Software to issue pension correctly as per rules and on time - This point was raised by Rajeev Behal during under payment of pension to many pensioners and widows. Since it is the duty of Govt to pay correct pension and a blame just cannot be thrown on banks.

8. Audit of Pensions- This point was raised by Rajeev Behal and asked them how, Audit Cards system which is mentioned in Office Manual of CGDA has been discontinued and what is the new system. CGDA were astonished to listen this, once question on thier internal working was raised and they quickly scrolled to next slide. And later during lunch, he said me, Sir, you are asking to fix responsibilities and questing something beyond his powers.
