Mysore/Mysuru: The State Government has begun the process of distributing social security pensions like widow pension, old age pension and other financial aids. The process was stalled since January this year due to the merger of smaller banks to bigger financial entities and COVID-19.
Due to the merger of banks, the direct account transfer or Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) was hampered as there was a change in beneficiary account numbers and ISFC Codes. This had resulted in the deserving population not receiving their assured monthly pension.
