Delhi municipal bodies paid Rs 1942.82 crore to ghost pensioners?

NEW DELHI: The chief auditor of municipal accounts has found that the erstwhile Municipal Corporation of Delhi, and one of its successor bodies, North Delhi Municipal Corporation, paid a whopping Rs 1,942.82 crore pension over 18 years to their employees without finding out if the beneficiaries were still alive or not.

The payments were made between 1998-99 and 2014-15 through Punjab National Bank and UCO Bank. The north corporation, justifiably, is alarmed.

The erstwhile MCD had deposited large funds in the Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazaar branches of PNB and UCO banks respectively.
After trifurcation, north corporation opened new accounts in the Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazaar branches and transferred funds.

"The pension cell released funds amounting to Rs 471.95 crore during 1998-99 to 2004-05, Rs 162 crore during 2005-06 to 2006-07 and Rs 1,205.28 crore during 2007-08 to 2012-13 to PNB and UCO banks for disbursement to the pensioners," the report said. The corporation again released Rs 103.59 crore to the two saving accounts in 2013-14 and 2014-15.
