New Delhi: If your name is linked to the Social Security Pension Scheme, this news is going to prove extremely important for you. The likelihood of a major setback has increased for approximately 136,000 beneficiaries associated with the Social Security Pension Scheme. Pensioners face potential difficulties if they fail to complete their physical verification by March 31.
The government has set March 31 as the final deadline for these pensioners to undergo mandatory physical verification. Failure to do so could result in the suspension of their pensions. Under the Social Security Pension Scheme, approximately 595,000 beneficiaries across Jaipur district—spanning categories such as the elderly, single women, and persons with special abilities—are currently receiving pension benefits.
According to departmental regulations, it is mandatory for all pensioners to undergo annual physical verification by March 31. Despite this requirement, 136,936 individuals across the Jaipur district have yet to complete their verification.
Number of Pensioners Who Have Not Completed Verification
B.P. Chandel, Joint Director of the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, informed that 72,756 pensioners in Jaipur district and 64,180 pensioners within the Jaipur city area remain unverified. In this regard, instructions were issued during a meeting of the Deputy Commissioners of the Local Self-Government Department, directing that all pending verifications be completed by March 31, 2026.
Additionally, the district administration has appealed to pensioners to complete their verification by visiting their nearest e-Mitra centre, using a smartphone, or appearing before an authorised official. Under the current system, pensioners are required to undergo physical verification annually to ensure that they remain eligible for the scheme.
Complete Physical Verification by This Date
B.P. Chandel stated that a meeting of the Deputy Commissioners of the Local Self-Government Department regarding this matter was convened by the Additional District Collector (IV), during which directives were issued to ensure the completion of physical verification for all pending pensioners by March 31, 2026.
