The Social Welfare Department has announced that pension benefits for beneficiaries under the Old Age Pension, Widow Pension, and Disability Pension schemes—both state and national—will be disbursed at the District Welfare Office in Mokokchung from November 18, 2024. This is for those who have not yet received their pension benefits via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) for the period 2023-2024.
Beneficiaries are required to submit their Date of Birth details and personal contact numbers. Those who have not yet provided their bank account details should bring a photocopy of their bank account passbook. In a new policy, future payments will only be made to beneficiaries who have a registered bank account.
For those unable to collect their pensions personally, authorized representatives must present a Life Certificate from the respective pastor along with the pension payment book for all beneficiaries under their jurisdiction.
In the case of deceased beneficiaries since April 2023, authorized persons must provide a death certificate and an authorization certificate from the Village or Ward Council Chairman to withdraw the pension benefits.
