Pension Scheme Verification Only After Income Certificate Is Uploaded on Jan Aadhaar Card: Gram Panchayat and Panchayat Samiti Level Checking Process Fixed
The verification process has been changed for old-age, widow and divyang pensioners receiving pension under the Social Security Pension scheme. As per the government's new guideline, pensioners must now make their income certificate and get it uploaded on the Jan Aadhaar card before verification.
Pension verification can move forward only after the income certificate is uploaded on Jan Aadhaar. Pensioners must therefore complete the required documents first, so there is no trouble during verification. (Source: Dainik Bhaskar, Merta, 5 November 2026)
