Aasara pension recovery notices irk beneficiaries in Kothagudem

The Congress government’s decision to recover Aasara pensions from kin of government employees, retired and deceased staff has been drawing criticism from beneficiaries.

In the district, recovery notices have been issued to 200 Aasara pensioners, who got pensions during the



previous BRS regime, after conducting a survey recently. The pension amount to be recovered ranged from Rs 1 to Rs 2 lakh depending on the recovery period.

Those who are served notices by the officials are now worried over the pension recovery and how they could pay such huge amounts.
