A dedicated pension cell should start functioning immediately and the employees must receive their pension on the very day of retirement. All the pending pension cases must be cleared up within a specific timeline, said a government statement quoting the minister.
After the dedicated pension cell starts functioning, retired employees will get a single window facility to air their grievances and solve their problems instead of approaching several officers of the department, said an official.
