Along with this, if necessary, a new account will be opened in the post office by fulfilling all the standards in terms of pension, so that they can easily get old age pension.
Beneficiaries will get Rs 3,000 each
On June 15, Rs 3,000 each was to be sent under the first installment of old age pension, but due to most of the bank accounts not being linked to the NPCI portal, pension amount could not be sent to about 32 lakh beneficiaries. Due to this, many beneficiaries are constantly making rounds in the office of the Social Welfare Department. However, now it is a matter of relief for them and the remaining beneficiaries will be sent the old age pension money directly to their account in the next one week.
