The central government has issued an important update for pensioners, highlighting some essential tasks they must complete. Failing to comply with these requirements could lead to significant issues, including the suspension of their pensions. Pensioners have only a limited number of days to complete these tasks. Let’s delve into the details of this recent update.
The government regularly provides updates for pensioners across the country, ensuring smooth disbursement of pensions. To continue receiving their pensions without any interruptions, pensioners are required to complete certain mandatory procedures every year. One such procedure involves submitting a specific certificate, which is crucial for uninterrupted pension payments. If this certificate is not submitted on time, pensions may be stopped. This year, the government has set a short deadline for submitting this certificate. If you are a pensioner, make sure to complete this requirement immediately.
Submit This Certificate to Continue Pension
