Thiruvananthapuram: Today is the deadline for submitting an income certificate to get social welfare pension. If the certificate is not issued today, the pension will be suspended from March. Around 10 lakh people will be left off the list. Those who have received a pension till 31st December 2019 should provide the certificate. Even if the certificate is issued later, the dues will not be received.
The directive came in September last year to submit the income certificate to the local bodies where the pension is received. The certificate is issued by the village officers. There was a huge rush for months in Akshaya Kendras and other places to submit applications for this.
