Big decision of Modi government for pensioners

Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that in view of the Koro crisis, the government has now decided to extend the provisional pension period by one year. This will be counted from the retirement date. In an online meeting with the Department of Pensions and Pensioners Welfare and the Department of Administrative Reform and Public Grievances, Jitendra Singh said the government has decided to liberalize provisional pensions. He pointed out that the department should issue a claim for family pension as soon as possible after receiving it. For this, it is sufficient to submit a death certificate from a family member. There is no need to send such cases to the Pay and Accounts Department.

Jitendra Singh said that today the government has decided to increase the provisional pension by one year. This will apply from the date of retirement. He said there have been some cases in which government employees died after retirement but they could not even submit their pension papers. In such a situation the trouble of the family should not increase. There is a need to stand with such a family in these difficult times. In these cases, Singh directed the department to order payment of pension as soon as possible so that the arrears could be paid to the families of the pensioners.

Disability pension will be paid together

In addition, the facility has also been extended to the National Pension System i.e. NPS employee to pay compensation together. Under the rule, if a government employee becomes disabled during duty and the government decides to re-employ him, such employees receive a lump sum compensation. It is a disability pension in a way.

Communication will be done in digital mode

Apart from this, if under any circumstances a PPO (Pension Payment Order) has been issued but due to Corona, it has not yet reached the Central Accounting Office (CPAO) or the bank, further action can be taken by the Control General (CGA). . The CGA will direct the relevant pension processing center or bank and all communication will be done in digital mode.
