Pension – If you are a pensioner of any department and haven’t yet submitted a life certificate, you can do so. Failure to do so will create tension regarding your pension. Life certificates can be submitted online or manually. Most pensioners submit certificates in November. To reduce the rush, the treasury administration is emphasizing certificate submissions this month. Pensions are credited to accounts between the 1st and 3rd of November.
There are 33,500 pensioners in the district. The largest number of pensioners are from the police, education, and health departments. According to Treasury Department data, 75 percent of pensioners submit life certificates in November. This leads to a crowd at the Treasury Office in the Collectorate.
The government has allowed pensioners to submit their certificates in any month of the year, as per their convenience. The pensioner has to decide which month this will be. Typically, pensioners prefer to choose the month in which they retire.
Chief Treasury Officer Rita Sachan stated that life certificates can be submitted online or at the treasury office. If pensioners are unable to visit the treasury for some reason, they can submit them at the relevant bank branch. The documents include Aadhaar card, PAN card, and bank passbook.
Chief Treasury Officer Rita Sachan stated that if a pensioner dies, it is the responsibility of the family to inform the treasury office in writing as soon as possible. This will prevent the next month’s pension from being released. If the pension is released, it will be recovered from the family.
