Nagaland Assembly takes up pension irregularities, verification concerns

MLA Dr. Tseilhoutuo Rhutso has called for comprehensive verification and auditing of pensioners in Nagaland, citing concerns over possible unauthorised pension drawals and irregularities. Raising the issue in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly on September 1, he proposed Aadhaar-linked biometric verification, a high-level audit committee and a centralised online pension portal. According to data presented by Rhutso, 63,370 retired government employees and nominees currently receive pensions through State Treasuries and SBI’s Computerised Pension Processing Centre. #Nagaland #NagalandAssembly #Pension #DrRhutso #EasternMirror
