Since they gamed the system in Japan too, maybe in India they're not that much more likely to game things, and the cultural difference is just knowing and admitting that people do it and taking countermeasures.
- ketanmaheshwari 6y agoIt is likely because of the 'culture of gaming'. The system has been in place ever since I remember which is at least 25+ years. The treasury sends a letter to verify "hayati" which translates roughly to "alive and well". Treasury also asks pensioners to update their picture periodically (every 3 years or so) so that when the pensioner shows up, they can match them with their picture on file. I know this because my mom has been a pensioner after my dad's demise ever since I remember.
