The AP Government has made a significant decision regarding pensions. The government will begin accepting new applications to provide pensions to eligible newcomers and is taking steps to identify and remove ineligible recipients. This decision comes in response to criticism that some ineligible individuals have been receiving pensions.
The government aims to rectify this situation and ensure that pensions are provided to all eligible individuals. To achieve this, the Chief Minister has instructed the formation of a cabinet sub-committee to establish new pension rules and develop an app for monitoring pensions across the state. Additionally, efforts are underway to identify both eligible and ineligible recipients, particularly focusing on widows and single women, in order to ensure that pensions are allocated appropriately.
