A pensioners’ portal powered by the ministry is already functional with all of the aforementioned services.

The app will be launched by Jitendra Singh, who is the Minister of State for Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).

According to Live Mint, the launch event will also felicitate 17 pensioners with ‘Anubhav Awards’. The awards will be conferred for their outstanding contributions towards ‘Anubhav’ – a platform for retiring employees to share their work experience with the government.
