Separate railway division to come up in Jammu: Dr Jitendra Singh
The railways in the J&K region are currently controlled by the Ferozepur Division that is based in the Malwa region of Punjab.
The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) has decided that all the pension portals like Pension Disbursing Bank portals, ANUBHAV, CPENGRAMS, CGHS, etc. will be integrated into a single portal in the form of the newly created “Integrated Pensioners’ Portal” (https://ipension.nic.in) to ensure “Ease of Living for the elder citizens”.
This was stated today by Union Minister for Personnel Jitendra Singh while addressing a Bankers’ Awareness Workshop in Bhopal.
Jitendra Singh said that in tune with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an “Integrated Approach to bring Ease of Living”, the move would mitigate the problems faced by the pensioners like a change of bank, submission of life certificate, submission of the death certificate of pensioners, pension slip and retrieval of pension slip, income tax deduction data/form 16 and pension receipt information. The websites of pension disbursing banks would also be integrated with the integrated pensioners portal.

He also pointed out that the task of Integration of the Pension Seva Portal of SBI and Canara Bank with the Bhavishya portal has been completed. With this integration, the pensioners can now get their pension slip, the status of submission of Life Certificate and Form-16 through the integrated pensioners’ portal. He also informed that all 18 pension disbursing banks will be integrated into the integrated pensioners’ portal.
Jitendra Singh said the DoPPW will take care of not only serving/retiring employees but also work for the Ease of Living of pensioners. The digital life certificate was another step in this direction. He pointed out that in November 2014, an Aadhar-based scheme for online submission of digital life certificates, “Jeevan Pramaan” was launched by Prime Minister Modi to ensure transparency and “Ease of Living” for pensioners while submitting their life certificates.
