The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare has recently rolled out a significant change in the pension application process for retiring central government civil employees.
This move aims to streamline the submission of nominations related to pension arrears and pension commutation.
New Form: Simplifying Pension Claims
The centerpiece of this transformation is the newly introduced Single Pension Application Form 6-A.
Commencing on November 16, 2024, retiring employees will find it mandatory to utilize this form for submitting their claims.
But wait, there’s more! Starting October 15, 2024, this form will be available for online submission through the Bhavishya and e-HRMS platforms.
What Retiring Employees Need to Know
Online Submission: Retiring central government employees must now fill out the Form 6-A online.
Marked by a notification issued on July 16, 2024, this digital shift has become a pivotal moment.
Say Goodbye to Form 6: Form 6-A replaces the previous Form 6. All necessary details are now incorporated into this single application.
It’s like decluttering your pension paperwork!
Common Nomination Form (Form A): While Form 6-A takes center stage, current pensioners and family pensioners will still need to use the older Form A.
Form A will be used for any separate nominations made after retirement or if changes in existing nomiantions are required.
The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare has instructed all ministries and departments to spread the word about this new process.
Ensuring compliance across the board is essential for a smooth transition.
