Corruption in Pension Schemes through Direct Benefit Transfer in Jharkhand

One of the major findings of the report is the allocation of widow pensions to men and old age pensions to youths in Jharkhand. This indicates a clear case of corruption and the diversion of funds meant for the intended beneficiaries. The misallocation of pensions has resulted in genuine widows and elderly individuals being denied their rightful benefits.

Need for Stringent Measures to Tackle Corruption
The revelations in the CAG report highlight the urgent need for stringent measures to tackle corruption in pension schemes in Jharkhand.
