Delhi govt begins identifying ineligible old-age pension beneficiaries
Delhi government has started a verification drive to identify and weed out ineligible beneficiaries of its old age pension scheme covering around 4.4 lakh senior citizens, officials said on Saturday. The verification process was to begin earlier, but it was halted as permission for Aadhaar authentication of the beneficiaries via a third party was not allowed. Now, the third party is carrying out door-to-door biometric beneficiary verification after receiving permission, said a senior functionary of the Delhi government.

The government currently provides a monthly pension of Rs 2,000 to senior citizens aged between 60 and 69 years, while those aged 70 years and above are entitled to Rs 2,500 per month. Earl
