&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;After ghost employees, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is being haunted by ghost pensioners. According to the civic agency, it pays Rs 1.5 crore per month to ghost pensioners, which add up to Rs 17 crore per year.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The civic agency issues cheques of Rs 1,000 each as pension to approximately two lakh widows and old people having no source of income. However, it has come to light that many of them are not entitled or authorised to receive the pension cheques. &amp;quot;On an average, 50 people from each ward take pension cheques unethically,&amp;quot; MCD standing committee chairman Ram Kishan Singhal said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Delhi is divided into 272 wards and if each ward on an average has 50 ghost pensioners, then almost 14,000 people are getting the cheques illegally. The Delhi government also disburses pension cheques of Rs 1,000 each to needy people. The MCD officials suspect that in some cases, these claimants take the cheques from both the civic agency and the government. In several cases the beneficiaries are neither old or widows.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;However, the civic agency pleads helplessness claiming they do not have the resources to cross- check the eligibility of the two lakh pensioners individually. &amp;quot;We do not have any software for this. So checking and counting is very difficult,&amp;quot; Singhal said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Highlighting the issue, Meera Aggarwal, member of the MCD standing committee, confirmed that around 2,500 people from Rohini were drawing pension illegally. MCD commissioner K. S. Mehra ordered a detailed survey of the pensioners all over Capital. &amp;quot;People drawing pension wrongfully is unethical. We will try to complete the survey by April 20. Stringent action would be taken against people receiving the pension cheques illegally,&amp;quot; Mehra said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;While the commissioner is pressing for a detailed survey, the chairman of the standing committee has suggested that the names of pensioners be matched with the respective lists of names available with the MLAs. &amp;quot; The legislators have the list of those people who are drawing pension cheques from the Delhi government. Our councillors also have the list with them. We will match both the lists and then see who the real culprits are,&amp;quot; Singhal added.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The fact about the ghost pensioners was revealed during a heated debate over some people not getting pensions for the past few months.&lt;br /&gt;

According to the civic agency, it pays Rs 1.5 crore per month to ghost pensioners, which add up to Rs 17 crore per year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;The civic agency issues cheques of Rs 1,000 each as pension to approximately two lakh widows and old people having no source of income. However, it has come to light that many of them are not entitled or authorised to receive the pension cheques. &amp;quot;On an average, 50 people from each ward take pension cheques unethically,&amp;quot; MCD standing committee chairman Ram Kishan Singhal said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;Delhi is divided into 272 wards and if each ward on an average has 50 ghost pensioners, then almost 14,000 people are getting the cheques illegally. The Delhi government also disburses pension cheques of Rs 1,000 each to needy people. The MCD officials suspect that in some cases, these claimants take the cheques from both the civic agency and the government. In several cases the beneficiaries are neither old or widows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;However, the civic agency pleads helplessness claiming they do not have the resources to cross- check the eligibility of the two lakh pensioners individually. &amp;quot;We do not have any software for this. So checking and counting is very difficult,&amp;quot; Singhal said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;Highlighting the issue, Meera Aggarwal, member of the MCD standing committee, confirmed that around 2,500 people from Rohini were drawing pension illegally. MCD commissioner K. S. Mehra ordered a detailed survey of the pensioners all over Capital. &amp;quot;People drawing pension wrongfully is unethical. We will try to complete the survey by April 20. Stringent action would be taken against people receiving the pension cheques illegally,&amp;quot; Mehra said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font &gt;While the commissioner is pressing for a detailed survey, the chairman of the standing committee has suggested that the names of pensioners be matched with the respective lists of names available with the MLAs. &amp;quot; The legislators have the list of those people who are drawing pension cheques from the Delhi government.

MCD trips on multi-crore ghost pension scam

After ghost employees, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is being haunted by ghost pensioners. According to the civic agency, it pays Rs 1.5 crore per month to ghost pensioners, which add up to Rs 17 crore per year. The civic agency issues cheques of Rs 1,000 each as pension to approximately two lakh widows and old people having no source of income. However, it has come to light that many of them are not entitled or authorised to receive the pension cheques. "On an average, 50 people from each ward take pension cheques unethically," MCD standing committee chairman Ram Kishan Singhal said. Delhi is divided into 272 wards and if each ward on an average has 50 ghost pensioners, then almost 14,000 people are getting the cheques illegally. The Delhi government also disburses pension cheques of Rs 1,000 each to needy people. The MCD officials suspect that in some cases, these claimants take the cheques from both the civic agency and the government. In several cases the beneficiaries are neither old or widows. However, the civic agency pleads helplessness claiming they do not have the resources to cross- check the eligibility of the two lakh pensioners individually. "We do not have any software for this. So checking and counting is very difficult," Singhal said. Highlighting the issue, Meera Aggarwal, member of the MCD standing committee, confirmed that around 2,500 people from Rohini were drawing pension illegally. MCD commissioner K. S. Mehra ordered a detailed survey of the pensioners all over Capital. "People drawing pension wrongfully is unethical. We will try to complete the survey by April 20. Stringent action would be taken against people receiving the pension cheques illegally," Mehra said. While the commissioner is pressing for a detailed survey, the chairman of the standing committee has suggested that the names of pensioners be matched with the respective lists of names available with the MLAs. " The legislators have the list of those people who are drawing pension cheques from the Delhi government. Our councillors also have the list with them. We will match both the lists and then see who the real culprits are," Singhal added. The fact about the ghost pensioners was revealed during a heated debate over some people not getting pensions for the past few months.
