INTEGRATED PENSIONERS’ PORTAL

• The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, has recently launched a portal for pensioners in collaboration with the Bank of India.

ABOUT THE INTEGRATED PENSION PLATFORM

• It is a digital initiative to enhance the welfare of pensioners being implemented through various means such as Digital Life Certificates and Bhavishya Portal.
• The platform’s primary objective is to achieve complete digitization of pension processing and payment systems. This transition to digital platforms enhances transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in pension-related services.
• The Bhavishya platform is an integral component of the Integrated Pension Platform. It ensures end-to-end digitisation of pension processing, starting from online submission of pension forms by retiring employees to the issuance of Pension Payment Order (PPO) in electronic format.
• Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare was awarded the 3rd Rank for BHAVISHYA as per the NeSDA Assessment 2021 among all the Central Government e-Governance Service Delivery Portals.
