MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

- (a):  State/UT-wise details of funds released by Central Government under the old age and widow pension schemes of NSAP during the last six years are given at Annexure-I.
- (b)  &  (c): Under  NSAP,  identification  of  beneficiaries  and  sanction and  disbursement  of  benefits  to  them  is  done  by  the  respective State/UT. Allocation of funds under NSAP schemes to States/ UTs is done  on  the  basis  of  ceiling  of  beneficiaries  (State  Cap)  or  the number  of  beneficiaries digitized on the NSAP  portal  by the State/UT,  whichever  is  lower.  State/UT-wise  details  of  beneficiary ceiling of old-age and widow beneficiaries under pension schemes of NSAP are given at Annexure-II. Further, State/UT-wise details of

number of old-age and widow beneficiaries under pension schemes of  NSAP  during  the  last  six  years  are  at  Annexure-III.  States/UTs have option to provide financial assistance from their own sources in  case  there  are  more  eligible  beneficiaries.  As  per  information received  from  States/UTs,  about  2.56  crore  old-age  and  1.2  crore widows are additionally assisted through State/UT pension schemes. (d) & (e):  Funds under NSAP schemes are released to the State on the basis of (i) submission of proposal, complete in all respects as per NSAP  Guidelines;  (ii) compliance  of revised procedure  for release of funds issued by Ministry of Finance, from time to time; and (iii) submission of requisite undertakings signed by the Competent Authority. No such proposal of any State/UT is pending in  this  Department  for  release  of  funds  under  old  age  pension scheme and widow pension scheme for the last six years.
