APSRTC — Present status of apsrtc employee pension scheme

I retired from services on 31.07.2001 from services of APSRTC, Amalapuram Depot. My Staff Number is 32191, Helper, SRBS Membership Number. 8539. I lost my leg in an accident when I was in service.

Till last year, I was submitting my Life Certificate through any Depot Manager in Hyderabad and getting monthly pension of LRs. 650.00. But, my both the sons got transferred to other states. Elder Son to Pune and Younger son to Bangalore. As I am staying either in Pune or in Bangalore, I came all the way to Hyderabad to submit the Life Certificate this year, and submitted the same in Bus Bhavan, SRBS, Musheerabad, Hyderabad.

But, they informed me that from next year I shall have to submit my Life Certificate at SRBS, Vijayawada, due to the bi-furcation of Andhra & Telangana States. Being Physically Handicapped person, I am feeling it difficult to go to Vijayawada to get the Life Certificate certified.

In this connection, I request me to suggest me solution the following issues:

1. Is there any alternative for me to submit the Life Certificate at either Bangalore/Pune or Hyderabad.

2. For any reason, I cannot be able to submit Life Certificate next year, Can I cancel the Pension and get lumpsum amount against the same. If so, how much I shall get.

Please clarify my above doubts at the earliest.

If possible, please send the reply to the following mail id of my brother:
