It has now been decided to extend the time limit of the provisional pension to 1 year. This will be counted from the retirement date.
Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that keeping in mind the Corona crisis, the government has now decided to extend the time limit of provisional pension to 1 year. This will be counted from the retirement date. In an online meeting with the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare (DoPPW) and the Department of Administrative Reform and Public Grievances (DARPG), Jitendra Singh said that the government has decided to make Provisional Pension a Liberal. He directed that the department should release it as soon as possible after getting a claim for family pension. For this, submission of death certificate from the family member is sufficient. There is no need to send such cases to Pay and Account Department.
Jitendra Singh said that today the government has decided to increase the provisional pension by one year. This will be applicable from the retirement date. He said that there have been some cases in which government employees died after retirement but they could not even deposit their pension papers. In such a situation, the problem of family should not increase. There is a need to stand with such a family in this difficult time. In these cases, Singh directed the department to order pension payment at the earliest so that arrears could be paid to the family of pensioners.
Lump sum amount will be given in disability pension
Apart from this, the facility has also been expanded to pay lump sum compensation for the National Pension System i.e. NPS Employee. Under the rule, if a government employee becomes disabled during duty and the government decides to keep him on the job again, then such employees get a lump sum compensation. It is a disability pension in a way.
Communication will be done in digital mode
Apart from this, if PPO (Pension Payment Order) has been issued in any case but due to Corona, it has not yet reached the Central Accounting Office (CPAO) or the bank, then further processing of these matters can be done by Control General of Accounts (CGA). Will be completed on the side. The CGA will issue a directive to the concerned pension processing center or bank and all communication will be done in digital mode.
Do the job of taking a life certificate from video CIP
DoPPW asked all pension distribution banks to adopt video-based customer identification process (V-CIP) at this time. Through this, banks will get a life certificate. Please tell that UCO Bank is doing a very good job in this matter.
