 In terms of Memo. No. 3583/PN/P/II/3F-9/2006 dated
20.08.2014 of Joint Secretary, P&RD Department, the total
projected figure of beneficiaries under IGNOAPS, IGNWPS &
IGNDPS in Urban West Bengal has been assessed at 5.60 lakh
under revised eligibility criteria of National Social Assistance
Programme (NSAP). At present, total number of beneficiaries
under these three components as on 1.1.2013 is 4.85 Lakh
 In the meantime, complaints are being received from different
corners that in certain cases the BPL ID of an identified BPL
household is being used by a non- BPL person for getting him/her
enrolled as a NSAP beneficiary. Application on age tampering in
the Urban Legacy Database has also been received, where an
under-aged person is being shown to be a beneficiary. Names of
dead beneficiaries, migrated beneficiaries and those getting
pension from other schemes, still exist in the database despite all
out effort to weed out the ineligible beneficiaries.
In order to prepare an error free comprehensive beneficiary list of
NSAP Scheme Urban Legacy Data of all the eligible beneficiaries as
per revised eligibility criteria with respect to 1.1.2014 , the following
steps are required to be taken by the ULB :
Commissioner/ Joint Municipal Commissioner/Secretary in case
of Corporation and Executive Officer / Finance Officer (in absence
of Executive Officer) and Office Superintendent/ Head Clerk (in
absence of Executive officer & Finance Officer) in case of
Municipality/N.A.A will act as the Nodal Officer for the entire
verification process.

Officer/(s) to be nominated by the NODAL OFFICER will
physically verify all the existing beneficiary of the approved
beneficiary list as on 1.1.2013 as well as newly identified
beneficiaries. Documents like EPIC Card/Birth Certificate / School
Leaving Certificate/Horoscope/ AADHAAR Number/ Ration Card
Number should be checked at the time of such verification. The
Officer/(s) will identify those beneficiaries who have died / migrated
and note the date of death/migration and verify supporting
documents, as available.

The Officer/(s) will also be required to verify whether any
existing beneficiary is receiving pension under any other pension
scheme of Govt. of West Bengal.
 During field verification, special care to be taken to
identify widow/ disability status of IGNOAPS beneficiaries
within the age group 60-79 years. Lack of this particular
information is likely to deprive a genuine beneficiary of their
benefit because the amount of widow and disability pension
has been increased. To facilitate the verification process, a
standard format has been designed, Information as required
in FORMAT-A can also be generated from the Urban Legacy
Database for verification.
 A list of probable duplicate names, if any, is to be
prepared from Urban Legacy Data FORMAT-B.
 A reasoned order has to be passed by the concerned
Officer before deleting any such name from the list after
giving due opportunity of being heard to the concerned
person. All such deletions are to be given effect in the Urban
Legacy Data.
