Social Security Pension through banks in Tamil Nadu


Tamil Nadu Govt’s initiative of getting social security pension disbursed through banks has gone down well with beneficiaries.
“Now I get full pension without deduction. Earlier, I had to wait either in the corridors of post office or be at the mercy of the postman who deducted at least Rs.50 from my pension,” said A. Pandiammal of Kadhiranampatti in Mullipadi panchayat in Dindigul disitrict.
