India Today  

The Petitions Committee of the Delhi Legislative Assembly on Wednesday said pensions of 4,26,058 senior citizens have been withheld in the national capital due to the centre’s non-payment of its meagre share and the finance department’s arbitrary roadblocks. Taking cognisance of such complaints, the Petitions Committee of the Delhi Legislative Assembly summoned officials of the finance department as well as those of the social welfare department. "The Petitions Committee of Delhi Legislative Assembly summoned officials of the Finance Department and Social Welfare Department today. "Today a meeting was again held on this issue and the officials of the Social Welfare Department informed the committee members that out of the Rs 2000 pension that is given to some senior citizens, a component of Rs 200 comes from the central government. "Because of this, the government file on pensions keeps going back and forth between the Social Welfare Department and the Finance Department and due to this the pension has been getting delayed by 3 months.
