New Delhi:
All Central Government departments have been asked to verify employees’ service record annually and inform them of any deficiencies thereof in order to check delay in processing their pension.
With the objective of eliminating delays in processing of cases of retiring government servants, the Personnel Ministry has asked the departments to immediately undertake an exercise to ensure completion of the entries of service verification and conclude within a defined time-frame.
The government servant concerned may also be informed of deficiencies and gaps as regards missing entries relating to verification of service and the period thereof, the order said.
There are about 50 lakh Central Government employees.
All ministries are requested to issue suitable instructions to all Heads of Offices, and Pay and Accounts Offices for strict compliance of the instructions so as to preclude any delays in disbursement of retrial benefits of government servants, the directive said.
