Centre to Launch Simplified Pension Application Form for Retiring Employees on August 30

The Centre is set to introduce a simplified pension application form for retiring employees on Friday, as announced in an official statement. According to a notification from the Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) dated July 16, 2024, the new "Form 6-A" has been designed to simplify the pension application process.

"This form will be available in Bhavishya/e-HRMS (online modules) to all the central government employees who are going to retire in December 2024 and onwards. The retiring officials, who are on e-HRMS, will fill Form 6-A through e-HRMS (only superannuation cases) and the retiring officials, who are not on e-HRMS, will fill Form 6-A in Bhavishya," the statement issued by the Personnel Ministry on Thursday said.
