Labour and employment minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Wednesday approved the centralized pension payment system (CPPS) under the Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995, allowing 7.8 million EPS subscribers to withdraw pension from any bank in India. Besides, it will 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.
