BPS Urges Finance Ministry to Implement Auto-Sweep Facility in Pension Accounts: Enhancing Returns and Liquidity for Central/State, PSU, and Senior Citizen Pensioners
cc: The Governor Reserve Bank of India 18th Floor, Central Office Building Shahid Bhagat Singh Road Mumbai — 400001 Email: [email protected]
Subject: Implementation of Auto-Sweep Facility in Pension Accounts of Central/State Government, PSU/Autonomous Pensioners and Senior Citizens
Respected Madam, Greetings of the day!
The Bharat Pensioners Samaj (BPS), a non-political, non-profit, and secular All-India Federation of Pensioners’ Associations established in 1955, respectfully submits this representation for your kind consideration. BPS, recognized by the Government of India including the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoP&PW) and NITI Aayog, represents nearly 10 lakh pensioners through 245 affiliate associations across the country.
Over the years, the BPS has remained steadfast in advocating for the rights, welfare, and social security of pensioners and senior citizens, collaborating with governmental bodies to address grievances through mechanisms such as the Central Pensioners’ Empowerment and Grievance Redressal Mission (CPENGRAMS) and Pension Adalats.
In continuation of these efforts, BPS proposes the introduction of an Auto-Sweep Facility in all pension and senior citizen accounts across Scheduled Commercial Banks.
Proposed Features:
Automatic Sweep-in: Surplus funds in a pensioner’s savings account would be seamlessly transferred to a linked fixed deposit or flexi-deposit, allowing them to earn higher interest without manual intervention.
Automatic Sweep-out: Funds can be transferred back to the savings account upon the pensioner’s need, ensuring liquidity and accessibility.
Key Benefits of the Proposed Facility:
Enhanced Financial Security: Earn optimal returns on idle funds while maintaining principal safety within the banking system. Convenience for Senior Citizens: Eliminate the need for repeated bank visits or manual management of deposits, aligning with the digital empowerment goals for the elderly.
Promotion of Responsible Savings: Encourage prudent financial habits through automated wealth management.
To ensure robust implementation, we recommend:
a) Linking pension accounts with authorized financial institutions for auto-sweep operations.
b) Permitting the highest applicable interest rates, with proportional deductions if funds are withdrawn prior to
c) Ensuring compatibility with existing pension disbursement systems and senior citizen banking schemes.
We request your esteemed consideration for integrating this facility into the pension and senior citizen account ecosystem. The BPS is committed to collaborating with relevant ministries and departments to facilitate this initiative, which we believe will significantly enhance the quality of life for pensioners and uphold their dignity in retirement.
We look forward to your favourable response and guidance on this matter.
With respectful regards,
Yours sincerely,
Avinash Rajput Secretary General Bharat Pensioners Samaj
CBDT NUDGEs taxpayers against the claims of bogus deductions through data-driven approach
Fake donations claims to political parties and trusts Under Tax Scanner
Many taxpayers revise returns after CBDT detection drive; SMS and email alerts sent from 12 December 2025
CBDT had launched ‘NUDGE’ campaign to help taxpayers correct returns
Recently, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has acted upon many intermediaries who were involved in filing income tax returns with bogus claims of deductions and exemptions under the Income Tax Act. The exercise revealed that some intermediaries have established network of their agents all over India for filing returns with incorrect claims on commission basis. It was observed that huge amount of bogus claims have been made on account of donation to Registered Unrecognised Political Parties (RUPPs) or Charitable Institutions and reduced their tax obligations and have also claimed bogus refunds. Evidence gathered from enforcement actions indicated that RUPPs many of which were non-filers, non-operational at their registered addresses, and are not engaged in any political activity were being used as conduits for routing funds, hawala transactions, cross border remittances and issuing bogus receipts for donations. The CBDT carried out follow up searches against some of these RUPPs and Trusts and gathered incriminating evidences in respect of bogus donations by individuals and bogus CSR by companies.
The CBDT has strengthened its data-driven approach to early detection of suspicious claims and identification of high-risk behaviour patterns, one such risk pattern has been identified for taxpayers who have made claims under section 80GGC or 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The data analytics indicated that many taxpayers are suspected to be indulged in claiming deductions for donation made to suspicious entities or have not provided relevant information to ascertain genuineness of entities. A large number of taxpayers have already revised their Income Tax Returns for current AY that is 2025-26 and have filed updated ITRs for past years.
A targeted NUDGE campaign has been launched as a taxpayer friendly measure, providing them opportunity to update their ITRs and withdraw wrong claims if any. SMSs and Email advisories are being issued from 12th December 2025 to such taxpayers on their registered mobile numbers and emails.
Every taxpayer is advised to ensure that correct mobile and email ids are mentioned in their filings with the Department so that they do not miss out any communication.
Additional information on deduction provisions and filing of Updated Returns is available at www.incometax.gov.in.
Cabinet approves scheme of Conduct of Digital Census of India 2027
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today, has approved the proposal for conducting Census of India 2027 at a cost of Rs.11,718.24 crore.
Details of the Scheme:
The Indian Census is the largest administrative and statistical exercise in the world. The Census of India would be conducted in two phases: (i) Houselisting and Housing Census – April to September, 2026 and (ii) Population Enumeration (PE) – February 2027 (For the UT of Ladakh and snow bound non-synchronous areas of UT of Jammu & Kashmir and states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, PE shall be conducted in September, 2026).
About 30 lakh field functionaries will complete this gigantic exercise of national importance.
Use of mobile app for data collection and the Central portal for monitoring purpose will ensure better quality data.
Data dissemination will be much better and in a user friendly way so that all the queries on required parameters for policy making will be made available on the click of a button.
Census-as-a-service (CaaS) will deliver data to ministries in a clean, machine-readable and actionable format.
Benefits:
Census of India 2027 will cover the entire population in the country.
Implementation strategy and targets:
The Census process involves visiting each and every household and canvassing separate questionnaire for Houselisting & Housing Census and Population Enumeration.
The enumerators, generally government teachers and appointed by the State Governments, will be doing the field work of Census in addition to their regular duties.
Other Census functionaries at Sub-district, District and State levels will also be appointed by the State/District Administration.
New initiatives taken for the Census 2027 are:
(i) First Census by digital means in country. Data will be collected using mobile applications that will be available for both Android as well as iOS versions.
(ii) A dedicated portal namely Census Management & Monitoring System (CMMS) portal has been developed for managing and monitoring the entire Census process on a real time basis.
(iv) Houselisting Block (HLB) Creator web map application: Another innovation for Census 2027 is HLB Creator web map application to be used by the Charge Officers.
(v) Option to self-enumerate will be provided to the public.
(vi) Suitable security features have been provisioned for this mammoth digital operation.
(vii) Census 2027 will have a focused and wider publicity campaign for nationwide awareness, inclusive participation, last-mile engagement and support for field operations. It will emphasize on sharing accurate, authentic & timely information ensuring cohesive & effective outreach effort.
(viii) Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs, in its meeting on 30th April 2025 decided to include caste enumeration in the upcoming census i.e. Census 2027. With the huge social and demographic diversity in our country and related challenges, the Census 2027 will also capture Caste data electronically in second phase, i.e. Population Enumeration (PE).
(ix) About 30 lakh field functionaries including Enumerators, Supervisors, Master Trainers, Charge Officers and Principal/ District Census Officers will be deployed for data collection, monitoring and supervision of Census operations. All the Census functionaries will be paid suitable honorarium for the work of Census as they will be doing this work in addition to their regular duties.
Major impact including employment generation potential:
The current endeavor would be to make available the coming Census data at the shortest possible time across the country. Efforts will also be made to disseminate Census Results with more customized visualization tools. Data sharing to all, up to the lowest Administrative Unit i.e. Village/Ward level.
To complete various tasks for successful conduct of Census 2027, approximately 18,600 technical manpower will be engaged for about 550 days at the local levels. In another words, around 1.02 crore man-days employment would be generated. Further, the provision of technical manpower at Charge/ District/ State level will also result in capacity building as the nature of job will be related to digital data handling, monitoring and coordination. This will also help in future employment prospects of these persons.
Background:
Census 2027 will be 16th Census in the country and 8th after independence. Census is the biggest source of primary data at village, town and ward level providing micro level data on various parameters including Housing Condition; Amenities & Assets, Demography, Religion, SC & ST, Language, Literacy & Education, Economic Activity, Migration and Fertility. The Census Act, 1948 and the Census Rules, 1990 provide the legal framework for conduct of Census.
Fact Check: No Withdrawal of DA Hikes, Pay Commission Benefits for Retired Govt Employees
A misleading message creating panic among pensioners and their families is circulating widely on social media, particularly WhatsApp, claiming that the Central Government has abolished crucial post-retirement benefits for its employees.
The viral message alleges that the Finance Act 2025 has led to the withdrawal of benefits such as Dearness Allowance (DA) hikes and Pay Commission revisions for retired Central Government employees.
The government’s official fact-checker (PIB Fact Check) proved the claim was fake.
The government has urged the public to rely only on official sources for information regarding their entitlements. The PIB Fact Check unit confirmed the claim as false, stating that no such changes have been announced by the government for retired employees under the Finance Act 2025.
Central Government pensioners should disregard the viral message. Their pensions remain protected under existing laws, and they will continue to receive:
Pension Revision: Benefits from future Pay Commission recommendations, which ensure that the pension structure is updated to reflect the latest pay matrix.
Dearness Relief (DR) Hikes: Adjustments to offset the rising cost of living, typically released every January and July.
🚨 Will retired Govt employees stop getting DA hikes & Pay Commission benefits under the Finance Act 2025⁉️
