New simplified pension application form launched for Govt employees

In a significant move aimed at enhancing the ease of living for senior citizens and pensioners across the nation, Union minister Jitendra Singh on Friday launched a single simplified pension application form.

A total of nine different forms have been merged into 'Form 6A' that was launched by the minister through video-conference.

"The newly launched unified form is designed to streamline the process for pensioners, reducing the complexity of handling multiple forms and significantly cutting down on the time and effort required,” said Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel.

This user-friendly approach is expected to benefit millions of senior citizens, enabling them to manage their pensionrelated matters with greater ease and convenience, he said.

Singh said the government remains committed to its vision of empowering senior citizens and harnessing their wisdom and experience for the development of the nation.

This latest initiative is a testament to the continued efforts to simplify and improve the systems that directly impact the lives of our elderly population, the minister said.
