Delay in payment of pension benefits to the Ex-Servicemen

Delay in payment of pension benefits to the Ex-Servicemen

The ex-gratia amount of Rs.9 lakhs has not been disbursed to the ex-servicemen by UCO Bank, Jhajjar Branch. There is likelihood of more cases. This has resulted in dissatisfaction and depression to ex-servicemen even after rendering efficient service in Defence. This has caused criticism on the PSBs.
