New Delhi: The government has decided to give pension payment order
(PPO) and all other retirement benefits on the day of retirement to all
50000 central government employees retiring every year, Union minister
Jitendra Singh said on Thursday.
“The goal is to ensure 100 per cent payment of all retirement
benefits and the delivery of pension payment order (PPO) to retiring
employees on the day of retirement itself,” The Minister of State for
Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Jitendra Singh said at the
inauguration of a workshop on ‘Bhavishya ’, an online pension sanction
and payment tracking system for central government retirees.
“Last year of a retiring employee is spent in preparation of pension
payment order (PPO) and collecting no-dues certificates as he fears no
one will let him in after he retires. The reputation of a retiring
government servants becomes such that he is preparing to get his pension
on time. This is just not done,” Singh said
“Our experience shows pension payments are considerably delayed.
Retirees need a dignified exit from service and can’t be expected to run
around for their pension payment order (PPO) and all retirement
benefits or make requests to someone for it,” said an official on this
occasion.
Bhavishya involves preparation of advance list of employees retiring
in the next 12 months and sending each such employee a login and
password for ‘ Bhavishya ‘ portal eight months before the date of his
retirement on his mobile phone and e-mail ID.
The employee fills up his details on the portal and based on that
information, pension forms are auto-generated by the software and
submitted for processing. The system then sends SMS and e-mail alerts to
the employee, his head of department and disbur...
The Minister said apart from ensuring timely disbursal of pension,
the Department is also holding pre-retirement counselling for employees
and considering various options on how best to utilize the experience of
retired personnel who can contribute a lot to the government and
society as they are energetic and resourceful for long beyond 60 years
of age.
