	+	* RTI to RPFC under §6(1)
	+
	+	===== Step-by-step process =====
	+	- Submit pension claim Form 10D — At RPFC office.
	+	- Documents: PF passbook + Aadhaar + bank account — Plus retirement letter.
	+	- Verification + PPO issuance — 60 days statutory.
	+	- Pension credit to bank — Monthly.
	+	- Higher Pension option calculation — If applicable, separate process.
