New Delhi: The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) has taken a significant step forward in its efforts to digitalize pension services and enhance the welfare of pensioners. The launch of the Integrated Pensioners’ Portal of Bank of India brings together the pension processing and payment services of five banks into a single window for their services, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) said in a statement.
The integrated pension portal is part of the DoPPW’s efforts to drive transparency, digitization, and service delivery. The portal has been developed keeping in mind the needs of pensioners and has been made available online in a user-friendly format.
The integration of the pension portals of SBI, Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank, and Canara Bank with the Bhavishya portal has been completed. With this integration, the pensioners of Bank of India have a single stop for services like pension slip, status of submission of life certificate, due and drawn statement, and Form-16 through the integrated pensioners’ portal.
The DoPPW plans to integrate the pension disbursing banks into the integrated pensioners’ portal in the near future. This initiative is part of the DoPPW’s efforts to provide comprehensive services to pensioners and strengthen the pension sector. The integrated pension portal will play a crucial role in improving the efficiency of pension services and enhancing the overall benefit of pensioners.
