Thiruvananthapuram: The center has stopped giving a share of the welfare pension to the elderly, widows and disabled through the state government. Instead, it was decided that the central government would deposit its shares directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries.
This change is part of a political decision not to allow the state to take credit for the share of money given out by the center. We take the position that it will help the public understand what happened.
Our center has implemented a change from the new year from this month. On Wednesday, the state government said he had deposited 3,200 rupees into his pension recipient’s account as payment for two months. But his 4.7 million receiving pensions for the elderly, widows and disabled received the money after deducting the center’s share. When a complaint was made about this, we were informed that the center’s share would be credited later. I tested it by depositing Re 1 first, but failed when trying to deposit an annuity into my account.
Many should receive center shares in the range of Rs.200 to Rs.500. The authority assured beneficiaries that the center’s share would be credited to the account immediately after fixing the technical problem.
Of the 50 million beneficiaries in the state, the center’s additional share pays just 4.7 million. Until now, the practice has been for the state of Kerala to give every pensioner her Rs 1,600 and later claim the center’s share.
However, beneficiaries will not receive a lump sum of Rs 1,600 as the center and Kerala will now pay the annuity separately. Kerala is cumulative and he pays pension every 2-3 months. The indication is that the center pays a monthly pension.
At the same time, the money for pension payments reached the banks, but not the state treasury. Pensions cannot be paid before Vishu unless the government authorizes the money on Thursday. For those who receive their pensions directly, they are delivered to their homes through the Cooperative Bank. The government transfers money to the Cooperative Bank through the Treasury. However, there is no problem for those who receive pensions from other banks.
