This new rule related to the pension process has come into effect in the country from November 6, 2024. Applications submitted on paper by employees retiring from central government jobs will no longer be accepted. This information has been given in a notification issued by the Pension and Pensioners Welfare Department under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Government of India.

Earlier, pension application forms could be filled on paper but now employees retiring from central government jobs will have to fill online pension forms for pension. This new rule is part of a major move to digitise government processes.

It is available for personnel retiring from central government jobs from November 16. For this, a notification was issued on November 4, 2024. These online portals have been created to make the pension process simpler and more effective. Under this change, the concerned officials have to be trained to run the pension process smoothly.

These training sessions will help office heads and nodal officers understand how to use the new system. The training schedule will be shared soon. All government ministries and departments have been instructed to ensure that this new rule reaches all employees and everyone follows the new process for pension claims.

What is Pension Form 6-A

In fact, a simplified pension form 6A has been prepared for the convenience of retiring personnel. It has been prepared by combining Form Six, Eight, Four, Three, A, Format 1, Format 9, FMA and Zero Option Form. For this, rules 53, 57, 58, 59, 60 of CCS Pension Rules, 2021 have been amended. This amendment has been notified after consultation with all parties like Department of Expenditure, Department of Law and Justice, Controller General of Accounts, Comptroller and Auditor General of India, Department of Personnel and Training.

Preparation to give pension order on the day of retirement

For employees retiring from central government jobs, this pension form 6A has been integrated on the ‘Bhavishya’ or e-HRMS portal. The ‘Bhavishya’ portal is an initiative of the Pension and Pensioners Welfare Department. Under this, efforts are being made to ensure that retiring government employees receive all pending payments and pension payment orders on the day of retirement.
