As per media reports, dated August 27, 2020, pension payment order (PPO) can now be stored in DigiLocker by the central government pensioners to avoid any loss of the original copies of their PPO, a very important document. In the absence of their PPO, these pensioners face innumerable hardships. Secondly, it was a tough job to physically receive hard copies of the PPO due to the Covid-19 pandemic, says the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pensions. Now, pensioners can obtain an instant printout of the latest copy of their PPO from their DigiLocker account.
The system is created with Bhavishya software, and is a single window platform for pensioners, right from the start of their pension processing till the end of the process. This option is available to the retiring employee the time of filling of retirement forms and their submission. The retiring employees will sign into their Digi-locker account from Bhavishya and authorise Bhavishya to push the e-PPO to DigiLocker. When it is issued, it will automatically be pushed into corresponding DigiLocker account and the retiree is informed about the same through SMS and Email by Bhavishya.
