• Annual survival of pensioners / family pensioners receiving pension
• Verification term extended by two months: Deputy Chief Minister Shri Nitinbhai Patel

Deputy Chief Minister Shri Nitinbhai Patel has said that pensioners / family pensioners receiving pension in the state have to verify their annual survival. For which pensioners have to go to the bank or treasury in person. It was submitted to the finance department on behalf of the pensioners that it was not appropriate for the elderly pensioners to go to the bank or the treasury during the Corona epidemic. Therefore, the verification period should be extended. With this in mind, the term of two months has been extended by the Finance Minister Nitinbhai Patel. So now till October 2020, pensioners / family pensioners will be able to verify their existence in person at the concerned bank or at the District


Treasury or Pension Payment Offices. In addition, pensioners / family pensioners can verify their survival online on Jeevan Pramaan Portal (www.jeevanpramaan.gov.in).


The Deputy Chief Minister added that the period for verification of annual survival has been extended till August 31, 2020, taking into account the prevailing Corona epidemic. As a rule, pensioners are required to verify their annual subsistence by the end of June of that year. But considering the representations received by the pensioners as well as the prevailing situation, this important decision has been taken by the state government in the interest of the pensioners.

He added that at present, more than 2.61 lakh pensioners / family pensioners in the state are being credited with a monthly pension of Rs 1,200 crore directly through e-payment.
