All India Pension Adalat - 600 retiring Central Government employees to participate in Pre-Retirement Counselling Workshop
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
MoS Dr Jitendra Singh to inaugurate the All India Pension Adalat and give away Anubhav Awards on Tuesday
600 retiring Central Government employees to participate in Pre-Retirement Counselling Workshop
17 SEP 2018
The
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North
Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances &
Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh will inaugurate the
All India Pension Adalat here tomorrow.
The Pension Adalat, being
organised by the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare
(DoP&PW), will be one of the largest exercises for Pensioners’
Welfare ever undertaken by the Government as part of Good Governance
dedicated to Central Government Pensioners. It is a unique effort
wherein on a single day all the Central Government Ministries would be
conducting their respective Pension Adalats in which on-the-spot
resolution would be provided across the table to the grievance holder.
All
the stakeholders of the pensioner’s case viz. the Department, Pay and
Account Officer, the concerned Bank, along with the pensioner or his
representative, will settle the grievance within the framework of extant
rules. This is a great reformative measure to get the grievances
resolved in the quickest possible way by avoiding unnecessary recourse
by the pensioners to Courts.
It is expected that this measure will
resolve issues of thousands of pensioners in one day, in a single
sitting across the country. In addition to the Central Ministries, the
Offices of Accountant General would be separately addressing the
Pensioner grievances of All-India Service officers, in all the states
across the country.
Besides the Pension Adalat, a Pre-Retirement
Counselling (PRC) is also scheduled for the Central Government employees
who are about to retire in the next six months. 600 retiring Central
Government employees will participate in this PRC out of which a
significant number will also be from the Central Armed Police Forces.
The objective of the PRC Workshop is to create awareness about
post-retirement entitlements as well as to educate them on advance
planning for retirement including medical facilities and participation
in voluntary activities after retirement.
On the occasion, Dr.
Jitendra Singh will also give away the Anubhav Awards-2018 to recognise
the contribution of the Central Government employees to the Anubhav
Portal which is designed to create an institutional memory for
successive generations of Central Government employees. It may be
recalled that the Anubhav scheme had been instituted at the call of the
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in the year 2015. This is meant to
encourage retiring and retired employees to submit an account of their
experiences while working in the government and thereby create an
institutional memory to help in future governance as well as to motivate
and inspire different generations of government officials in their
respective assignments. The scheme has resulted in registering more than
5,000 Anubhavs from Government employees till date from 91 Departments.

Simplification of pension procedure - Papers submitted in time-limit then PPO be handed over before retirement: DoP&PW Order

Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, P.G. & Pensions
Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare

Office Memorandum
Sub: Simplification of pension procedure (i) Handing over of PPO to the retiring employee by the Head of Office before retirement and
(ii) Submission of undertaking by retiring Government servant along with pension papers - reg.
The
undersigned is directed to invite attention to this department's Office
Memorandum of even number, dated 7th May, 2014 (copy available at
departmental website), vide which provision had been made that the
undertaking to be submitted by the retiring Government servant/pensioner
to the pension disbursing bank to refund or make good any amount to
which he is not entitled may be obtained by the Head of Office from the
retiring Government servant along with Form 5 and other documents before
his retirement. This undertaking is forwarded to the pension disbursing
bank along with the Pension Payment Order (PPO) by the Accounts
Officer/CPAO following the usual procedure. The bank shall credit the
pension to the account of the pensioner as soon as this Undertaking is
received along with the pension documents.
2. The pensioner is no
longer required to visit the bank to activate the first payment of
pension. Therefore, after ascertaining that the Bank's copy has been
despatched by the Central Pension Accounting Office, the pensioner's
copy of the PPO is to be handed over to him at the time of retirement
along with other retirement dues. This should be feasible in all cases
where the Government servant had submitted pension papers within the
time-limits prescribed in the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules,
1972.
3. An employee posted at a location away from the office of
the Head of Office or who for any other reasons feels that it would be
more convenient to him to obtain his copy of PPO from the bank, may
inform the Head of Office of his option in writing while submitting his
pension papers.
4. However, in the recent past, many instances
have come to the notice of this Department wherein the pensioner's copy
of the PPO had not been handed over to him/her and instead had been sent
to the Bank and the same was lost in transit sometimes thereby causing
hardship to the pensioner.
5. In view of the foregoing, all
Ministries/Departments are once again requested to strictly follow the
above procedure henceforth viz., handing over the copy of pensioner PPO
to him/her at the time of retirement along with other retirement dues
except if the pensioner specifically requests for delivering his/her
copy of PPO through bank. Department of Posts and Department of
Telecommunications are requested to make suitable amendments to the
instructions to the Accounts Officers and pension disbursing Post
Offices/Banks to adhere to the above procedure.
