Why in News?
- On the occasion of International Labour Day (May 1, 2022), Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a new platform e-Pension Portal to ensure transparent and hassle-free disbursement of pension to retired government employees.
Key Points
- This end-to-end online pension portal has been developed by the Finance Department to simplify the process of getting pension.
- This will eliminate the need for pensioners to go anywhere physically and make the process transparent, paperless, contactless and cashless.
- Taking into account the complaints of retiring state government employees, the portal will track the status of their applications (PPOs).
- As per the guidelines given by the Central Government, the State Finance Department has created a portal, which will have the option to track the status of employees who have attained the age of 59 years and six months. This will benefit about 11.5 lakh pensioners in the state.
- This system has been implemented for the state government employees and soon other departments will also be involved in the process, which will benefit lakhs of people and no one will have to run here and there for pension.
