Section 2 in The Revised Orissa Old Age Pension Rules, 1989
2. After careful consideration, Government have further been pleased to decide that the Old Age Pension Rules shall be further revised with a view to ensuring expeditious payment of pension to old age pensioners by administering the scheme through the Panchayat Samitis in lieu of the Tahsils. This would ensure greater involvement of the Panchayati Raj institutions with the social welfare programme of Government.
