Aiming at increased accountability and focus, the platform provides a single window facility for the beneficiaries to lodge their application for pensions, track the status of their applications and payments, and address grievances.

What Is SSPMIS?

SSPMIS is an online initiative created by the state of Bihar to streamline the different pension schemes to which people are entitled. It facilitates pensioners in simply applying and monitoring their application or receiving their pension straight from the bank. The system is aimed at old age, widow and disability pensioners and is intended to administer the relief funds allocated by the state more effectively and efficiently.

Features

The SSPMIS platform has some salient features which promote user access and enhance transparency for the beneficiaries. Let us learn about them in detail.

Online Pension Application: The users who are entitled under the different schemes can directly apply for a pension over the platform.
Grievance Redressal System: This is a feature that helps users file complaints as well as seek solutions for problems.
Payment status in real-time: Provides the facility for the beneficiaries to check their payment status to ascertain if the pension has been paid.
Application Tracking: This feature details the status of the pension applications made by beneficiaries and allows for timely and effective tracking.

Objective

For the first time, SSPMIS is designed to manage labour-related subsidy schemes in Bihar in a more organized way. The goal is to make sure pension benefits for senior citizens, disabled individuals, and women are given directly to them, without any delays or middle steps, ensuring the process is smoother and more efficient.

Benefits

The SSPMIS platform is very helpful in streamlining and enhancing the social security pension schemes in Bihar. It has dispensed with the red tape in accessing required services for the users’ benefit. Technology ensures that pensions get to the pensioners in time and they can track the status of their applications as well as the payments.

Here are some of the chief advantages of the SSPMIS platform:

Accountability: This platform provides for the accountability of all operational processes, including application and payment to the beneficiaries.
Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT): Beneficiaries of the pension have it directly deposited in their bank accounts. This helps to eliminate risks associated with pensions for example fraud and delays.
Grievance Management: The SSPMIS platform includes a grievance module which is very effective in helping beneficiaries to have their grievances addressed in a short time.
Efficiency: Making use of a digital platform does away with excessive filling of papers and avoidance of bureaucratic procedures such as people coming into their offices, thus application processing is made faster.
