New Delhi: The Union government has introduced a single unified form for enhancing the ease of living for senior citizens and pensioners across the country.
Nnine separate forms have been merged into the unified ‘Form 6-A’ which was launched on Friday at the National Media Centre, along with integration of e-HRMS with Bhavishya.
This initiative reflects Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to simplifying processes for senior citizens, enabling them to contribute effectively to the vision of a “Viksit Bharat” by preserving their energies and expertise while saving their valuable time.
Launching the unified form, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Earth Sciences, MoS PMO, Department of Atomic Energy and Department of Space, MoS Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Jitendra Singh highlighted the importance of this reform.
“The launch of the ‘Single Simplified Pension Application Form and Digital Integration of Bhavishya with e-HRMS’ is another milestone and a feather in the cap of the Department of Pension, which has consistently introduced reforms to improve the lives of our senior citizens,” said the minister.
Explaining how it will work, the minister said retiring officials who are on e-HRMS will fill Form 6-A through e-HRMS (only Superannuation cases), while retiring officials who are not on e-HRMS will fill Form 6-A in Bhavishya.
Pensioners will be able to submit the form with single e-sign (Aadhaar-based OTP).
Singh also launched integration of Central Bank of India Pension Portal with Bhavishya. The State Bank of India, Canara Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India and Union Bank of India were already integrated with Pension Portal.
Facilities such as Monthly Pension Slip, Status of Life Certificate, Submission of Form 16 of pensioner and Due & Drawn Statement of pension arrears paid are currently provided by these banks.
