Informative Note: Transfer of Pension via Village Panchayat in Goa

The transfer of pension in Goa is a facility that can be initiated and processed with support from the local Village Panchayat. This applies mainly when a pensioner changes residence or payment location and wishes to have their pension amount disbursed from a different bank branch or office.

To start the transfer process, the pensioner or their authorized representative must apply at their Village Panchayat office, where the pension officer or Panchayat Secretary verifies the submitted documents and the eligibility for transfer. The Panchayat then forwards the application to the concerned higher authorities for approval.

The transfer process involves official scrutiny and, once approved, ensures that the pension payments are redirected successfully without interruption. There may be a nominal fee associated with the transfer, payable by the applicant.

Village Panchayats in Goa thus act as local facilitators, offering guidance, document verification, and forwarding of pension transfer applications to the district or state pension authorities.
