Pension applications rejected after deadline, applicants left in the dark
Chennai: Complaints have emerged that revenue department officials are rejecting applications for pensions and other social security schemes without completing them within the stipulated time. To simplify services such as patta name transfer, the government enabled online submissions through www.tnesevai.tn.gov.in, either directly by applicants or via e-Sevai centres. Officials were instructed to take a decision on such applications within 30 days. However, residents allege that many officials remain inactive until the deadline and then reject applications at the last moment, stating that required details are missing. This, they say, forces people to apply repeatedly.
