JUMLA: E-pension services have been introduced in the Himalayan district of Jumla for the first time, benefiting permanent government employees.
Manjit Achhami of the District Treasury Controller Office (DTCO) said the e-pension system, initiated by the federal Ministry of Finance, has now been implemented in the district.
Kamal Thapa Kshetri, an agricultural officer from the Agriculture Development Office who retired from Chandannath Municipality, has become the first beneficiary of the service.
With the introduction of e-pension, the need to travel to Kathmandu for pension processing has been eliminated, saving both time and costs, Achhami added.
