Karnataka is moving towards voluntarily offering social security pension to eligible citizens in a significant departure from the age old practice of low-income families applying for the same. The revenue department, which hands social security pension to lakhs of families, has worked closely with the e-governance department to create a database of citizens, using the information gathered by field level staff. The revenue department will use it to voluntarily offer a pension to eligible persons under an appropriate social security scheme after an in-person authentication using Aadhaar-based digital life certificate.
