Section 15 in The Revised Orissa Old Age Pension Rules, 1989
15. Annual verification.
- The Block Development Officer/Executive Officer shall by himself or through a nominee conduct an annual verification of pensioners to ascertain that the pensioner is living and continues to fulfil all the conditions of eligibility. The verification shall ordinarily be conducted in the first week of April each year. If either as a result of this enquiry or otherwise the Block Development Officer/Executive Officer is satisfied that the pensioner is no longer alive or has ceased to fulfil any of the conditions of eligibility, he shall immediately cancel the pension and make an entry to that effect in the register of pensioners in red ink and forthwith communicate the same to Sub-Collector for approval. For the purpose of cancellation, the Sub-Collector shall be the final authority.
