Srinagar, Aug 30 : As of today, 1.43 lakh of the 2.38 lakh pensioners and family pensioners have been verified, representing 60% of the total.<\/p>\n
This verification process has identified excess pension payments amounting to Rs. 5 Crores, and recovery measures have been initiated to address these overpayments.<\/p>\n
This was given out by Finance Department in a statement here.<\/p>\n
The statement said that the Department had initiated a verification of all government pensioners as part of an ongoing effort to comply with the Treasury Code and to fully digitize pension data.<\/p>\n
According to it the verification process aims to eliminate discrepancies in existing records and ensure that all pensioners\u2019 data is up-to-date. Such verification is not only aiding in updating pensioners\u2019 data but also laying the groundwork for a future transition to online verification. Recognizing the challenges faced by elderly or infirm pensioners, the Department has asked the Treasury staff to conduct home visits.<\/p>\n
So far, approximately 2,000 home visits have been made to facilitate the verification of aged pensioners.<\/p>\n
The Department has asked all Treasuries and Sub-treasuries to issue daily and weekly schedules in advance so as to make the verification process as accessible and accommodating as possible, Finance Department said in its statement.<\/p>\n
It further added that strict directions have been imparted to Treasury staff to ensure that the verification process is both efficient and pensioner-friendly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Treasury staff have been directed to minimize inconvenience for pensioners during this process and ensure a courteous and supportive approach,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
Treasuries and sub-treasuries, it added, are also guiding the pensioners to use the \u2018Jeevan Pramaan\u2019 App which enables biometric authentication and auto-generation of Digital Life Certificates.<\/p>\n
Currently, out of 2.38 lakh pensioners, only 4162 pensioners in Jammu and Kashmir use Jeevan Pramaan app for certification.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Department in coordination with J&K Bank is devising a separate mechanism to facilitate the verification of pensioners residing outside the Union Territory and abroad, the statement added.(GNS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
