Pension cancellation by state government: The state government has identified 23.19 lakh ineligible people out of those who receive monthly pension for helpless, disciplined, old, disabled and widows under the Social Security Scheme and are taking steps to immediately remove them from the eligible list and prevent money leakage.
A monthly allowance of Rs 1,000 is being provided under the Sandhya Suraksha Yojana to protect senior citizens aged 65 years or above in the state. Similarly, senior citizens aged 60 or older are being provided a monthly allowance of Rs 800 under the old age pension scheme.
At present, 21.87 lakh beneficiaries are receiving pension under the old age pension scheme and 31.33 lakh beneficiaries under the evening security scheme. The Central and State Government have a stake in it. However, it has been revealed that more people are receiving pension than government data. The state government has matched the details of the beneficiaries with family data.
A large number of ineligible people were found when data of minors, rich, APL card holders, income taxpayers, semi-government retired employees (HRMS) were collected. Under the Old Age Pension Scheme, an estimated 9.04 lakh and 14.15 lakh ineligible people were identified under the evening security scheme.
Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar said, “The Revenue Department has ordered the cancellation of old age pension and evening security card. Do we want more evidence that the government, which is also saving the pension money of the poor, has reached the verge of bankruptcy?”
What will the government benefit from this?
1. Heavy savings in government treasury
2. Eligible people satisfied with the benefit of the scheme
3. Prevention of misuse of the scheme
4. Real new beneficiaries benefits
5. Low burden on administrative machinery
Rs 9,000 crore spent: The Center’s share in the social security scheme is negligible. That is, he is spending less than Rs 1,000 crore. But the state government is spending more than Rs 9,000 crore. If ineligible people are now excluded from the list, then the burden on the government will be reduced to a great extent.
