✎ SCDPM 6.0 aims to clear pending pension cases and simplify rules for 25,000+ pensioners by Oct 2026.
Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) has launched preparations for Special Campaign for Disposal of Pending Matters (SCDPM) 6.0, which will run from 2 October to 31 October 2026 with the core objective of reducing pendency, strengthening internal monitoring, improving record management and simplifying rules to ease the lives of pensioners. DoPPW has set specific targets, including disposal of 6,500 public grievances and 800 appeals, identification of 847 physical and 653 e-files for review, issuance of 23 office memoranda to enhance ease of living, and an expected revenue generation of ₹25,000 through these activities. The campaign also involves institutionalising cleanliness by identifying 21 sanitation sites nationwide in coordination with central government pensioners’ associations, with daily progress monitored on the SCDPM portal managed by DARPG.
For banking, SSC and RBI Grade B aspirants, SCDPM 6.0 is directly relevant to governance themes tested in prelims and mains—especially administrative reforms, grievance redressal mechanisms, and record digitisation under the Digital India initiative. Questions may focus on the role of DARPG in monitoring such campaigns, the significance of rule simplification for ease of living, or the impact of pendency reduction on public service delivery. Understanding how such drives integrate with broader policies like ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ and ‘Mission Karmayogi’ can also help frame answers on governance and accountability in government schemes.
