## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI KAMLESH PASWAN)

- (a): National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) caters to 3.09 crore BPL beneficiaries with scheme-wise ceiling/cap on the number

of  beneficiaries  for  each  State/UT.  Scheme-wise  and  State-wise ceiling of number of beneficiaries is given at Annexure.

- (b): As  per  NSAP  guidelines,  responsibility  of  implementation  of NSAP schemes, identification/verification of beneficiaries, disbursal of pension to beneficiaries, stoppage of pension, annual verification of beneficiaries lies in the hand of States/UTs. As per the information  available  on  the  Centralized  Public  Grievance  Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) Portal, since FY 2020-21, a total of 2249 grievances (including 111 carried forward from the previous financial year) were received, out of which 2178 have been disposed of as on 31.01.2026.
- (c) & (d): Under  NSAP,  the  old  aged,  widows,  and  divyangjans belonging  to  Below  Poverty  Line  (BPL)  and  fulfilling  eligibility criteria  prescribed  in  the  NSAP  guidelines,  are  provided  financial assistance, in form of pension, ranging from Rs.200/- to Rs.500/- per month  and  in  the  case  of  death  of  the  breadwinner,  a  lump  sum assistance  of  Rs.20,000/-  is  given  to  the  bereaved  family.  Central assistance is released to States/UTs on receipt of complete proposals  for  release  of  funds.  Pension  amounts  are  disbursed directly to beneficiaries by the concerned States/UTs.

A  web-based  pension  payment  portal-  NSAP-PPS  (Pension Payment System) has been operationalized as an end-to-end digital tool  for  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  (DBT)  mode  disbursal  of  pension through  PFMS.  More  than  90%  pension  disbursal  under  NSAP  is through DBT mode. At present, approximately 91% of beneficiaries have their Aadhaar numbers seeded in the NSAP-PPS portal.

Under  NSAP,  grievances  related  to  pension   are  addressed through  the  CPGRAMS  portal  with  electronic  tracking  and  timebound  resolution  by  the  concerned  authorities  to  ensure  timely redressal.

- (e): The  NSAP  guidelines  states  for  convergence  of  various  antipoverty  programmes  with  NSAP  so  that  besides  pension  support, eligible beneficiaries may also get access to  health, food security and other social assistance measures.
