If you have been facing any kind of issues with your pension, then there is help at hand. The first step of redressal for such matters is of course with the bank where you have the pension account, and then, you may also approach the respective government department. If, however, despite all this, your grievance has not been addressed, you may also use the pension portal set up by the government - www.pensionersportal.gov.in.

This portal is meant for central government pensioners and has a grievance registration system, and the complainants can expect a response to their query, though a timeframe for the same is not mentioned on the site yet. This website is a good initiative by the government to help out elders, who are often seen struggling with their pension queries and no one seems to know the answers. You may use this option to figure out the solutions to those issues for which you are getting satisfactory answers concerning any discrepancies with your pension.
