Government Increases Pension Amount, Get ₹1450 Per Month! Know Details

New Delhi: The central and state governments are constantly launching new schemes to benefit the people. In this regard, the Rajasthan government has won everyone’s hearts by opening its coffers for the elderly, widows, and the disabled. The state government has again increased the monthly amount under the Social Security Pension Scheme.

Beneficiaries will now receive Rs. 1450 per month instead of Rs. 1300. This represents an increase of Rs. 150. This will further increase the burden on the government treasury. Pension bills for January 2026 have been prepared and sent for ECS. This means that this amount will begin being transferred to beneficiaries’ bank accounts in the coming days. The government is gradually increasing the amount.

Know how much the amount has increased in two years?

Over the past two years, the state government has gradually increased the amount under the Social Security Pension Scheme by a total of Rs. 450. This will prove to be a major relief for the economically weaker sections. Looking back at this journey, the government increased the pension amount from ₹1000 to ₹1150 in 2024.

In 2025, this amount was increased by ₹100 to ₹1250 per month. In 2026, it was first raised to ₹1300 and now, with a ₹150 increase, to ₹1450. This scheme will benefit millions of beneficiaries.

How many beneficiaries will benefit?

According to a Rajasthan government report, over 9.1 million beneficiaries are currently listed under this scheme in the state. These include the elderly, single women, widows, persons with disabilities, and small and marginal farmers. The government’s goal is not only to provide financial assistance but also to give these disadvantaged sections of society the opportunity to live with self-respect.

Will the amount be credited directly to their accounts?

The government has fully implemented the DBT system to ensure that benefits reach beneficiaries. There will be no middlemen involved. Pension funds are now deposited directly into the beneficiary’s bank account linked to their Aadhaar. The entire process has been made paperless and online, eliminating the role of middlemen from application to payment.
