## MINISTRY OF LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT

## GOVERNMENT OF INDIA LOK SABHA

## UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 2192 TO BE ANSWERED ON 09.12.2024

## CENTRALIZED PENSION PAYMENTS SYSTEM (CPPS)

2192. SHRI EATALA RAJENDER:

SMT. D K ARUNA:

## Will the Minister of LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT be pleased to state:

- (a)whether  the  Pilot  run  of  the  proposed  Centralised  Pension  Payments System (CPPS) is successful and if so, the time by which the new system will be implemented nationwide to help more than 80 lakh EPS pensioners to  receive  their  pension  from  any  bank,  any  branch,  anywhere  in  the country;
- (b)whether  the  CPPS  will  address  long-standing  challenges  faced  by pensioners and ensures a seamless disbursement mechanism  to transform  the  EPFO  into  a  more  robust,  responsive  and  tech-enabled organisation  committed  to  serving  the  needs  of  its  members  and pensioners; and
- (c)if so, the details thereof and the time by which it will be implemented/results yielded/glitches noticed?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)

(a) to (c): Yes, the pilot run has been successful.

The first pilot run was successfully completed on 29th and 30th October 2024 and pension through CPPS was disbursed to more than 49,000 EPS Pensioners of Jammu, Srinagar and Karnal Regions. The 2nd pilot was conducted in 24 ROs in Nov 24 and pension through CPPS was disbursed to around 9.3 lakh EPS Pensioners. The full scale roll out CPPS is proposed to be implemented in the beginning of the year 2025.

The  CPPS  marks  a  major  shift  by  establishing  a  centralized system,  enabling  pension  disbursement  through  any  bank,  any  branch across India. Now pensioners will have choice to receive pension in any branch of any scheduled commercial bank anywhere in India instead of the limited  choice  of  few  banks  in  existing  RO  based  decentralised  pension disbursement.

The CPPS system would also ensure disbursement of pension throughout India without any need for transfer of Pension Payment Orders (PPO) from one office to another even when the Pensioner moves from one location to another or changes his bank or branch.
