The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare has introduced a new single pension application form, Form 6-A, for retiring central government civil employees. This initiative is designed to simplify the process of submitting nominations for pension arrears and pension commutation. Starting from November 16, 2024, retiring employees will be required to use Form 6-A to submit their pension claims. This form will be accessible for online submission via the Bhavishya and e-HRMS platforms beginning October 15, 2024. According to the notification issued on July 16, 2024, all retiring central government employees must now complete Form 6-A online.
