There are different schemes run by the Central Government and state governments. Through these schemes, they provide financial aid to the beneficiaries.
One such scheme is the pension scheme for Senior Citizens. Haryana is the one state that gives the highest pension, as reported by ABP News.
Prior to becoming elderly, people prepare plans for their retirement pensions. Pension planning facilities exist only for some people due to limited resources. The government offers pension payments to such individuals. Cash benefits as pensions are offered by central authorities together with local state governments.
In almost every state in India, senior citizens receive pensions. The amount of the pension is different in different states. Senior citizens receive the highest pension in Haryana.
The people of Haryana used to receive limited pension benefits but now it has increased to Rs 3,500 per month. The government officially raised pension amounts through its announcement in January 2025. In this regard, elderly citizens now receive the highest pension in Haryana.
The pension scheme has established specific eligibility requirements that dictate which senior citizens receive benefits. Pension benefits should be provided to men who reach 60 years of age or older. The age requirement for female pensioners is set at 58 years or above.
People can submit their applications through an online system for this scheme. Internet users who want to apply for a pension can use the Haryana Government Pension website at https://pension.socialjusticehry.gov.in.
Applicants need specific documents when applying for the pension scheme. All citizens must upload their Aadhaar card along with an income certificate, age certificate, bank account details, and residence certificate when submitting their applications.
