Special attention will be given to pensioners aged 80 and above, women pensioners and those facing health-related difficulties. Doorstep and home-based services will be facilitated for people unable to visit campaign locations because of age or infirmity.
The campaign is being conducted in collaboration with public sector banks, India Post Payments Bank, UIDAI, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, pensioners’ welfare associations and state governments.
Participating organisations also include the Defence, Railways and Posts ministries and departments, the Department of Telecommunications and the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation.

Senior officials from participating ministries, departments, banks and stakeholder organisations, along with representatives of pensioners’ associations, are expected to attend.
