Manipur to pay pension through banks
Imphal,
Sep
16:
The
Manipur
government
has
decided
to
pay
the
pensions
to
its
retired
employees
through
banks
with
effect
from
October
one.
State finance commissioner R R Rashmi here today said the government had earlier declared to do so but was unable to implement following lack of cooperation from a section of the pensioners.
The pensioners had not approached the concerned Treasury offices for endorsement of opening of bank accounts, Mr Rashmi added.
He also informed to the pensioners that September 30 was fixed as a deadline for obtaining endorsement from the Treasuries and for opening of bank accounts to avail the facility.
