There will be no need for pension payment order
The centralized pension payment system will help in pension disbursement in the country and for this there will be no need to transfer pension payment orders.

Pensioners who go to their hometowns after retirement will get great relief from this. In the next phase, the centralized pension payment system will be linked with the Aadhaar-based payment system.
