In December last year, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions had expressed concern over delay in disposal of pensioners’ grievances beyond the stipulated time limit of 60 days. The department later asked the Centre to constitute social audit panels to identify core complaints prone areas and streamline their systems.

Keeping note of the steep increase in the number of re-registered grievances over the years, the panel suggested to have an accountability mechanism in place and explore the feasibility of holding the grievance redressal authorities concerned answerable for summarily disposing of grievances without appropriate qualitative action.
