Central Government Pension News: The Central Government has taken a big decision giving relief to the government employees, due to which there will be no problem in getting pension etc. on time after retirement. With this step of the government, government employees will not have to wait long for pension or pension payment order (PPO) after retirement. The Department of Pensioners Welfare, Government of India has issued an office memorandum, in which all government departments have been asked to complete all pension related formalities within the time limit so that the employees get the PPO immediately after retirement.
What is PPP?
PPO is a unique 12 digit number, which is allotted to all the pensioners. This document contains many important information such as pensioner’s name, date of birth, pension amount, date of retirement etc. PPO number is required while applying for pension and submitting the annual life certificate. It is also important to have a PPO number because without it, there may be problems in transferring the PF account from one bank branch to another.
Keeping in mind the convenience of the employees, the Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) has asked all ministries and government departments to ensure that their PPO numbers are issued to pensioners before retirement. The government has asked all departments to digitally secure the service records of their employees. For this, along with digitalization, it has been said that e-HRMS (Electronic-Human Resource Management System) should be completely adopted. This will ensure that the verified service record of each employee is available online, thereby preventing any delay in the pension process.
