The Government employees retiring during COVID-19 pandemic will be receiving ‘provisional’ pension till their regular Pension Payment Order (PPO) is issued.
Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh on Monday said that after the Modi Government took over, the Department of Pensions had upgraded and equipped itself to deliver the PPO to the concerned employee without delay on the day of his or her superannuation.
He stated that besides this, in the last few years, taking a cue from PM Modi’s emphasis on digitalization, the Department of Pension also created a Portal, which could be accessed by any government employee approaching superannuation to find out the status of his or her pension papers.
