Raj’s Pension Crisis: 13.5L denied benefits due to bureaucratic errors
In Rajasthan, 13.5 lakh out of 90.8 lakh social security pensioners have been denied benefits due to errors like incorrect death declarations, failed KYC, and mislabeling residents as non-residents. Mistakes arise from data entry issues and biometric verification problems. Efforts are ongoing to rectify these errors, with 9,688 pensions restored this year.
