Funds Recovered from Deceased Accounts
Karnataka's Kalaburagi district has unearthed Rs 25.84 lakh from bank accounts belonging to deceased individuals, officials confirmed on Tuesday. The recovery was disclosed during a review meeting of all five guarantee schemes chaired by Minister Revanna.
Review Meeting Details
Addressing the meeting on Tuesday, Revanna sought detailed information from officials about the funds recovered from these accounts. The minister emphasized the need for strict monitoring to prevent such discrepancies in welfare schemes.
Impact on Guarantee Schemes
The recovered amount highlights potential leakages in the system, where benefits were being directed to accounts of deceased beneficiaries. Revanna directed officials to ensure that only eligible recipients receive benefits under the five guarantee schemes, which include various social welfare programs.
According to district officials, the recovery was made possible through cross-verification of beneficiary data with death records. Further investigations are underway to identify any additional irregularities.
