The ‘Bhavishya’ platform, an integrated online pension processing system was made mandatory for all central government departments w.e.f. 01.01.2017. This system is at present being successfully implemented in 98 Ministries/ Departments including 870 Attached Offices and 8,174 DDOs on board.

To mitigate the problems faced by pensioners about banks such as Change of bank, status regarding submission of life certificate, Pension slip, Form 16, Pension receipt information, the websites of Pension Disbursing Banks are being integrated with the Integrated Pensioners Portal of DoPPW, to enable these services to be available from a single window.

The task of integrating of Pension Portal of SBI, Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank, and Canara Bank with Bhavishya portal has been completed. With this integration, the pensioners of Bank of India have a single stop for services like pension slips, the status of submission of Life Certificate, Due and Drawn statement, and Form-16 through the Integrated Pensioners’ Portal. Shortly most of the Pension Disbursing Banks will be integrated with Integrated Pensioners’ Portal.
