He said that with the help of the new integrated form, the problem of handling many forms will be eliminated. Lakhs of senior citizens are expected to benefit from this. With this, they will be able to settle pension related matters easily. The Union Minister said that this initiative for senior citizens was taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Those retiring after December 2024 will get benefits
The new Form 6A will be available on the ‘Bhavishya’ or e-HRMS portal for all those central government employees who are going to retire in December 2024 and thereafter. The ‘Bhavishya’ portal is an initiative of the Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare Department. Under this, efforts are being made to ensure that the retiring employees get the payment of all dues and pension payment order on the day of retirement.
The way will be opened to make the entire pension process paperless
Under this system, the approval and process of payment of pension and other retirement benefits can be monitored online. E-PPO can be downloaded through the system. E-HRMAS is known as Electronic Human Resource Management System. It contains other details including service records of government employees. This will pave the way to make the entire pension process paperless.
