Millions of Rajasthan pensioners have received significant news. Pensioners who have not completed physical verification for their social security pension must do so by December 31, 2024, to avoid their pension being delayed or withheld in the new year.
Physical verification by December 31 in order to continue receiving pension
Actually, the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, Rajasthan, requires elderly, widowed, and disabled individuals receiving pensions to undergo physical verification by December 31 in order to continue receiving their pension without interruptions. If there is no verification in person, the pension will not be disbursed. According to the Security Pension Rules, each qualified pensioner must participate in yearly physical verification in November and December.
Verification can be conducted using these methods
- The elderly person can have his fingerprints taken at e-Mitra kiosks and Rajiv Gandhi Seva Kendra centers for his yearly physical verification.
- The yearly physical verification can be conducted by using facial recognition of the beneficiary on the Android mobile app (Rajasthan Social Pension and Aadhar FaceRD).
- Elderly individuals who are too old or too ill to leave their homes for annual physical verification can have it done by sanctioning officers through a mobile app while at home.
- If pensioners encounter any problems with biometric verification using their fingerprints, they can visit the sub-division office with their PPO, Aadhaar card, or JanAadhaar card to complete their annual verification.
- Pensioners without usable finger print biometrics can also undergo physical verification through an iris scan.
- When the pensioner attends in person before the pension sanctioning officer, physical verification can be completed using the OTP received.
