Special Campaign 3 for redressal of pension grievances ran between which dates?
- A.1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026
- B.7 July 2026 to 31 August 2026
- C.2 October 2026 to 31 October 2026
- D.1 April 2026 to 31 August 2026
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 7 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. The Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare started Special Campaign 3 on the earlier of those dates, for the timely and qualitative redressal of long-pending pension grievances, claims and issues, and the campaign concluded on the later one. It had a preparatory phase, in which pending cases were identified, and an execution phase, in which the department coordinated with ministries and held two mid-campaign review meetings. Option A and option C offer neat round periods of the kind that campaigns often use, which is why they feel plausible to a student recalling only the season. Option D stretches the start back to the beginning of the financial year while keeping the correct end date, and is the trap for anyone who remembers only one of the two dates. Note that annual campaigns of this kind have been organised since 2024, and this was the third edition.
