"In order to ensure Ease of Living of the Pensioners, a meeting was held with the CPPCs of Pension Disbursing Banks on 15.06.2021, wherein the issue of providing the breakup of monthly pension to the pensioners was discussed," the Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) said in an Office Memorandum (O.M.) dated June 22, 2021.
"The banks were impressed upon to undertake this welfare measure, as this information is required by pensioners in connection with Income Tax, Dearness Relief payment, DR arrears etc. The banks welcomed the idea and expressed their willingness to provide the information," it said.
Salaries and pensions of central government employees are disbursed on the basis of the Seventh Pay Commission.
