The decay endpoint energies corresponding to the decay from Pm to levels in Sm have been measured for the first time. The measurement has been made with a 
coincidence setup of two thin window Planar HPGe detectors and four Clover HPGe detectors. This measurement is a part of the program, taken up at VECC, on spectroscopy that would be utilized to characterise long lived decaying isomers in nuclei.
