Answer: Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DOPPW)
Notes: The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DOPPW) introduced a centralized pension processing software called 'Bhavishya' for all central government Ministries/Departments. 'Bhavishya' is an online Pension Sanction & Payment Tracking System to address delays, clerical errors, and financial loss in pension processing. The software starts the pension process 15 months before retirement and uses a single form for the pensioner. It also integrates with the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) for seamless electronic pension payments.
