This e-booklet was released at the sitting along with a set of flyers carrying success stories from the 16th Pension Adalat, and both publications were meant to show what direct hearings have achieved for pensioners and their families.

The 17th All India Pension Adalat listed 897 long-pending grievances of family pensioners and super-senior pensioners for consideration, and of these 756 were settled on the day of the sitting, giving a redressal rate of 84.2 per cent.
