CDA (PD), Meerut came into existence in November, 1983 consequent to orders of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana that the pension should be paid monthly instead of quarterly and by the department who is responsible for sanctioning the pension. Thus, CDA (PD) was established to take over the disbursement of pension from the Post Offices and state treasuries.
