The Madras District Centre of the NIC has developed an Old Age Pension (OAP) Monitoring System which has computerized the process of disbursement of old age pensions sent through money orders. This facility was inaugurated by the Revenue Minister, Mr SD Somasundaram on September 18, 1992, and the first money order printed by the computer handed over to the Chief Postmaster General, Mr T Parthasarathy.
The computerized OAP system developed at the Madras District Unit manages the following activities:
- Printing of the money orders, thereby ensuring timely disbursement. Delay incurred in manually writing out the money orders has been eliminated.
- Generation of lists/schedules to claim bills.
- Maintenance of database of pensioners.
- Monitoring disposal of money orders.
- Providing analytical reports.
