The Department of Social Justice and Empowerment has developed a new mobile application to facilitate online (e-KYC) verification of beneficiaries under various social security pension schemes.

A department spokesperson said the verification process has been initiated to ensure the seamless transfer of social security pensions directly into beneficiaries’ bank or post office savings accounts. Beneficiaries have been urged to complete their e-KYC by visiting the nearest Anganwadi centre with the required documents before August 31, 2025.

For assistance or further information regarding the verification process, beneficiaries can contact their nearest Child Development Project Supervisor, Tehsil Welfare Officer or Child Development Project Officer, the spokesperson added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
