Karnataka Government Uncovers Pension Fraud, Updates Land Records

The Karnataka government is checking to make sure that the right people are getting social security pensions.

They found over 1.18 million people who might not be eligible, including some who pay income tax or work for the government.

Some people were getting pensions even though they weren't old enough, and others were using fake documents to get disability pensions.

The government is also updating land records to help farmers and digitizing these records so it's easier to access them online and prevent tampering.
