The announcement by Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar comes as a response to a 60-year-old unmarried individual who raised the issue during a public dialogue program. Recognizing the need for financial support, the CM has taken the initiative to provide a monthly pension to unmarried men and women, as well as widowers in the state.
Pension eligibility and criteria
Unmarried men, women, and widowers between the ages of 40 and 60 will be eligible for the monthly pension of Rs 2,750. To qualify for the pension, individuals must have an annual income of less than Rs 1.80 lakhs for unmarried people and less than Rs 3 lakh for widowers.
Impact of the pension scheme
According to a report from the CM’s office, approximately 1.25 lakh unmarried individuals in Haryana will benefit from this pension scheme. The initiative aims to provide financial assistance and security to those who are unmarried or have lost their spouses, particularly during their middle years.
Looking ahead
The introduction of the monthly pension scheme for unmarried individuals and widowers demonstrates the Haryana government’s commitment to the welfare of its citizens. This initiative will provide much-needed support to those in need and contribute to their overall well-being.
