Mizoram CM Announces Amnesty for Fraudulent Pension Orders, Warns of Legal Action Post-Deadline
Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma has launched a three-month amnesty campaign from July 1 to September 30, urging individuals receiving family pensions through fraudulent or invalid documents to voluntarily surrender their Pension Payment Orders (PPOs). Those who comply during this period will not be required to refund received amounts. After the deadline, a government task force will verify beneficiaries, and those found guilty of fraud will face pension cancellation and legal action. The government also plans to improve pension administration by training officials and cautions authorities against issuing fraudulent certificates.
