Central govt pensioners alert! New pension application process introduced for retiring employees

A new Single Pension Application Form 6-A has been introduced for retiring employees to submit their pension claims, effective from November 16, 2024. This form will be available for online submission through the Bhavishya and e-HRMS platforms starting October 15, 2024.

Retiring central government employees are now required to fill out the new Form 6-A online. This change is part of a notification issued on July 16, 2024, which outlines the introduction of the form.

All ministries and departments are advised to inform relevant personnel about these new instructions to ensure compliance.

New pension nomination process for retiring employees

The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare has introduced a new single pension application form, known as Form 6-A, for retiring central government civil employees. This new form will simplify the process for submitting nominations related to pension arrears and pension commutation.

Effective from July 16, 2024, Form 6-A replaces the previous Form 6 and incorporates all necessary details in a single application. Retiring employees must use this form to submit their nominations, eliminating the need for the older Common Nomination Form (Form A).

Current pensioners and family pensioners will still need to use Form A for any separate nominations made after retirement or if changes to existing nominations are required.

All ministries and departments are instructed to share this new process with relevant personnel to ensure smooth implementation. Further amendments to the existing pension rules will be announced soon.
