The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare will be organising the 54th Pre-Retirement Counselling (PRC) workshop under the presence of Union Minister Jitendra Singh at the State Convention Centre, Jammu, on July 19, according to the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions press release.
The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare has been conducting pre-retirement counselling workshops throughout the country as part of Good Governance to facilitate officials who are about to retire in the superannuation process.
The workshop, being held for the benefit of retiring employees of the Government of India, is a revolutionary step in the direction of ‘Ease of Living’ for the pensioners. In the workshop, soon-to-be retiring employees will be provided with relevant information related to the retirement benefits and pension sanction process, the press release said.
In order to facilitate a smooth transition for the retiring employees, various sessions on the BHAVISHYA Portal, Integrated Pensioners Portal, Retirement Benefits, Family Pension, CGHS, Income Tax Rules, ANUBHAV, Digital Life Certificate, Investment Modes and Opportunities, etc. will be conducted.
All these sessions have been curated to make the retirees aware of the process to be followed and forms to be filled out pre-retirement and to provide information about the benefits available to them post-retirement.
A detailed session on the various investment modes, their benefits & investment planning will also be organised to enable the retirees to plan the investment of their retirement funds well in time. There will also be a detailed session on the CGHS system, CGHS portal, facilities provided and procedures to be followed to avail CGHS benefits.
It is expected that about 250 retirees due to retire in the next 9 months will greatly benefit from this pre-retirement counselling (PRC) workshop. The Department will continue to hold such workshops as part of good governance to ensure a smooth and comfortable transition for Central Government retirees, the press release added.
The department is making all efforts to keep them updated on the government initiatives being taken so that they can avail themselves of all the benefits post-retirement. (ANI)
