The Delhi government Monday decided to hike the monthly pension of
senior citizens, who are above 70 years, from Rs.1,000 to Rs.1,500,
with effect from October 1, 2011. The move, which will benefit more
than 160,000 people, comes ahead of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi
elections scheduled to be held in 2012. 'All the senior citizens above
70 years will get Rs.1,500 as a monthly pension,' Chief Minister
Sheila Dikshit told reporters here.
The government has been providing pensions of Rs.1,000 to senior
citizens, who are above 60 years, residing in Delhi for five years and
whose annual family income is less than Rs.60,000 from all sources,
she added.
The pension is sanctioned under the old age financial assistance
scheme of the social welfare department. Presently, 3,61,987
beneficiaries are listed under the scheme. The city government will
release an additional budget allocation of Rs.34 crore to meet the
enhanced liability
