## ANSWER

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

- (a): Funds  released  under  the  Old  Age  Pension  Scheme  of  the National  Social  Assistance  Programme  (NSAP)  during  the  last  five years, state-wise including Karnataka are given at Annexure-I.
- (b):
- (ST) beneficiaries under NSAP since FY 2021-22, including Karnataka are given at Annexure-II.
- Funds released for Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe state-wise

(c): As per Constitution of India, both the Central Government and States/ UTs have the responsibility for working in tandem in rolling out  a  comprehensive  social  security  framework  for  the  country. Accordingly, the States/ UTs are encouraged to provide top up of at least  an  equivalent  amount  to  the  assistance  provided  by  the Central Govt. so that the beneficiaries could get a decent level of assistance. At present, the States/UTs are adding Top up amounts ranging from Rs. 50 to Rs. 3800 per month per beneficiary under old age  pension  scheme.  Details  of  amount  of  top-up  being  paid  by States/ UTs are at Annexure-III.

(d): The  number  of  male  and  female  beneficiaries  (based  on digitized beneficiaries on NSAP-PPS Portal or State cap of number of beneficiaries, whichever is less) and category-wise number  of beneficiaries (on the basis of State/UT Ceiling/Cap) under the Indira Gandhi  National  Old  Age  Pension  Scheme, State-wise  including Karnataka are given in Annexure-IV.

(e): 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.

(f): To  foster  transparency  and  swiftness  in  transactions,  NSAP pension schemes are included under Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes.  At  present,  almost  all  States/  UTs  are  DBT  compliant except Andhra Pradesh and Nagaland. In Andhra Pradesh, pension is disbursed  to  NSAP  beneficiaries  at  doorstep  in  cash  through  biometric authentication and Nagaland provides pension through cash mode to majority of its beneficiaries due to geographical terrain.
