Govt is now making Pensioners verify themselves via Aadhar Finger print matching while submitting live certificate (required every year). If the finger prints cannot be verified,they will lose their pension.
People who cannot provide unique and identifiable fingerprints will not get Aadhar. Many aged people fall into this category due to worn out finger prints. Even for the people who did get manage to get enrolled, matching the fingerprint again is not going to be easy.
My mom had to go for submitting the live certificate for her person today and apparently many elderly people were unable to clear the fingerprint matching. They were turned away and asked to come and try later. If they cannot complete the process, they will lose their pensions after Mar 2018.
They are justifying it by citing a few isolated cases of pension system abuse where people were found be collecting pension in the name of a dead person, but the real goal seems to be reduce pension costs by thinning down the pensioner base by imposing a condition that many aged people are not going to meet.
Hitler apparently didn't like having people with physical/mental handicaps and aged people around as he thought they represented a blemish in his notion of a perfect race without weakness and so he methodically eradicated them from society through various ways. The present govt seems to be technically achieving the same results through Aadhar and other initiatives.
