The Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare is under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions — not the Ministry of Finance — so pair A is wrongly matched. The Department of Official Language is correctly under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ex-Servicemen Welfare under Defence, and Pharmaceuticals under Chemicals and Fertilizers. The incorrectly matched pair is A.
