India has expanded the reach of SAMPANN (System for Accounting and Management of Pension), its flagship digital pension management platform, with the State Government of Goa and the Cochin Port Authority adopting the system for pension and financial operations.
Developed under the Digital India Mission and managed by the Office of the Controller General of Communication Accounts (CGCA) under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), SAMPANN digitises the complete pension lifecycle — from processing and sanctioning to accounting and disbursement.
The cloud-based platform offers direct benefit transfer, real-time tracking, online grievance redressal and a single-window interface, helping reduce paperwork, delays and administrative inefficiencies.
Officials said the adoption of SAMPANN by new public institutions highlights its scalability and potential for wider integration across government sectors. The platform currently facilitates monthly pension payouts of around ₹1,650 crore and has disbursed nearly ₹72,000 crore to date.
The government also directed the Department of Posts and DoT to explore wider adoption of SAMPANN for additional pensioners, reinforcing India’s push towards transparent, citizen-centric and technology-driven governance.
