CIC de-links Aadhaar and pension

New Delhi: The Central Information Commission on Tuesday said there should be no delay in payment of pension to senior citizens on the pretext of linking accounts with a beneficiary's Aadhaar number.

"In the name of linking to Aadhaar or other such conditions, the public authority cannot delay the payment of pension to senior citizens and retired employees in view of their post-retirement requirements," information commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu said.

He said even if linking with Aadhaar is necessary, it should not result in delaying payment of pension or denial of information regarding pension.

"The pensioners might mainly depend upon the pension for their livelihood and delaying it will be inhumane and also amounts to denial of their fundamental right to life," he said.

Acharyulu's observation came on a petition filed by an Ahmednagar resident, Nirmala Nishikant Dhumane, who had asked the postal department why her pension for March 2017 was withheld for want of an Aadhaar card copy.

Through another application, she had demanded a copy of the orders that made it mandatory to link the Aadhaar number for getting pension.

According to official data, there are 61.17 lakh central government pensioners in the country.
