The #Kerala state #government is set to announce an annual #mandatory #mustering #exercise for #social #security #pensioners with #Akshaya centers assigned to carry out #Aadhaar_based #biometric authentication for #beneficiaries numbering around 52 lakhs.
The government order on mandatory #mustering is expected to be issued next week, according to a source.
Akshaya centers will offer home-based mustering for #bedridden or severely ill persons, charging Rs 30 for mustering at the center and Rs 50 for home-based mustering.
Those who joined the scheme until #December 2022 will be required to participate in the exercise, which will be available for three months starting April 1. #India Post had also submitted a proposal to conduct biometric mustering, but the government opted for Akshaya following representations from #entrepreneurs running the centers.
The government is taking steps to #exclude ineligible #persons from the scheme due to a severe #cash #crunch. About Rs, 900 #crores are required for the monthly payment to 52.50 lakh social security #pensioners and seven lakh pensioners under various #welfare fund #boards.
Social security pension spending is about Rs 770 crore, while welfare fund board pension spending is around Rs 110 crore.
