Thiru O Panneerselvam, Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, launched the Pensioner’s Portal (https://tnpensioner.tn.gov.in) at the Secretariat in Chennai on 18th January 2019. Additional Chief Secretary, Finance, Officers of Treasuries and Accounts and NIC Officers were also present on the occasion.
Developed by NIC TNSC, Chennai for the Department of Treasuries and Accounts, Government of Tamil Nadu, this bilingual portal facilitates important information such as details of monthly pension credited to the bank accounts, restoration of commuted value of pension, pension arrears, details of New Health Insurance, Dearness Allowance Rates, details of IT Return and Festival Advance, thereby eliminating the need to approach the Treasury or Pension Pay Office.
This Centralised Information Dissemination portal will enable over 7.30 lakh State Government pensioners to view related details while sitting at home. In addition, it is suggested to the department that the details can also be sent through SMS so that pensioners can get the updated status on their mobile phones. The multi-browser compliant portal has been designed using responsive web design so that it also gets rendered on all devices, including mobiles, tabs and laptops. It is also planned to integrate this web portal with AGs office portal for reconciliation purposes.
