Govt To Launch Website For Govt employees To Expedite Pension Payments

The Uttar Pradesh government plans to develop a site within the next few days to expedite the payment of pensions to state government employees who resign from service. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is expected to launch the online facility (epension.up.nic.in).

On May 1, the Uttar Pradesh government will make a significant present to retiring employees through the e-pension programme, under which every employee eligible to a pension would have the money deposited in his bank account within three days of retirement.

A webpage has been put up to follow the status of state government employees who are about to retire from employment, in response to complaints and concerns (PPO).

The finance department has built a site based on recommendations issued by the Union government, which would allow employees who reach the age of 59.5 years to track their status.

"The pension of government personnel was held up for different reasons," a finance department officer stated, "but now the PPOs will have to be disposed of within a month." If we do not get a response within a month, the pension will be paid. It will be presumed that the department head has reviewed the request. "If an abnormality is discovered later, the department head will have to defend his or her actions," the officer stated.

According to reports, Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, will unveil the e-pension platform on May 1. All Divisional Commissioners and Area Magistrates have been urged to attend this function, which will be held through video conference at 'Lok Bhavan,' the Government of Uttar Pradesh's Secretariat in Lucknow, with at least 100 personnel retiring in their district.

According to the government, personnel who retire after the start of this service would not have any difficulties in receiving a pension. Through the e-pension service, retired government employees in Uttar Pradesh would be able to avoid pension-related issues.
