SBI Pension Seva 2025

The State Bank of India (SBI), the largest pension-paying bank in India, serves approximately 54 lakh pensioners across the country. To enhance the pensioner experience, SBI launched the SBI Pension Seva Portal on August 31, 2018, a dedicated online platform designed to streamline pension-related services. In 2025, the portal continues to be a one-stop solution for pensioners, offering convenience, accessibility, and efficiency. This article explores the features, benefits and registration process.

What is SBI Pension Seva?

SBI Pension Seva is an online portal created to assist pensioners in managing their pension accounts. It caters to pensioners from various sectors, including Central Government agencies (Defence, Railways, Postal, Telecom, Civil), State Government departments, and autonomous bodies, excluding SBI staff pensioners who use the Human Resource Management System (HRMS). The portal operates 24/7, allowing pensioners to access services at their convenience without the need to visit a bank branch.

SBI processes pensions through 18 Central Pension Processing Centers (CPPCs), ensuring electronic and efficient handling of pension payments. The Pension Seva portal integrates with these systems to provide real-time access to pension-related information and services.

The SBI Pension Seva Portal offers a range of services to simplify pension management:
