<h4><strong>When was this scheme announced?</strong></h4>
<p>PM Modi announced several schemes and projects in Delhi on the 17th of last month. Among those schemes, one was for Delhi&#8217;s senior citizens. Under this scheme, 50,000 senior citizens will receive a new pension.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><strong>Lucknow: The 32 lakh elderly people in Uttar Pradesh who have not received the first installment of old age pension till now, will definitely get their pension in their account by 31st July this month.</strong></h4>
<p>This claim has been made by the Social Welfare Department. Special arrangements have been made in the CDO office for those who are not getting pension due to the problem of Aadhar card verification and linking the NPCI account with the bank on the NPCI portal. According to sources, 52 lakh elderly people in all the districts of the state get old age pension, out of which pension has been sent to only 20 lakh beneficiaries till 15th June.</p>
<p>Officials claim that the first installment will be sent to the remaining beneficiaries by 31st July. It is being claimed that most of the remaining beneficiaries will be sent money in the next one week.</p>
<p>The government makes direct payments to the bank accounts of citizens for all kinds of benefits available to them at the national and state level. Instructions have been given to link the bank accounts of beneficiaries to the NPCI portal. Those beneficiaries whose bank accounts have not yet been linked to the NPCI portal can go to their bank branch and link their bank accounts to the NPCI portal by submitting Aadhaar, PAN card and an application form.</p>
<h4><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://www.rightsofemployees.com/income-tax-rules-dont-do-these-5-transactions-even-by-mistake-otherwise-you-will-get-income-tax-notice/">Income tax rules : Don’t do these 5 transactions even by mistake, otherwise you will get income tax notice</a></strong></h4>
<h4><strong>New account will be opened in the postal department.</strong></h4>
<p>A counter has been opened in the CDO office under special arrangements. Employees of the Indian Post Payment and Pension section have been seated here. If the elderly people coming here are not able to get the Aadhaar verification or NPCI done from their bank, then the employees sitting in this room will help them and if needed, will open a new account in the post office fulfilling all the standards for pension so that pension can be sent to it. According to Social Welfare Officer Sunita Singh, Aadhaar verification and NPCI have to be done for old age pension. For getting NPCI done, the beneficiary has to go to the bank and put his thumb impression there.</p>
<p>In view of this problem, a counter has been made in a room on the ground floor of the CDO office. There are 62 thousand beneficiaries of old age pension in Lucknow. They were to be sent three thousand rupees each as the first installment on June 15, but this amount did not reach the accounts of most of them. Many beneficiaries are making rounds of the Social Welfare Office regarding this. It is being claimed that most of the remaining beneficiaries will be sent money under the scheme in the next one week.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Old Age Pension News: The state government is working on a plan to give good news to the residents of Jharkhand. State Chief Minister Hemant Soren said in his address that they are working on providing old age pension to people who soon reach the age of 50 years.</p>
<p>He also said that earlier Rs 1.30 lakh was available under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. But now under this scheme you will get a benefit of Rs 2 lakh. 30 lakh applications were received in the camp of your scheme, your government, your door programme.</p>
<p><strong>Pension of Rs 250 to 300 in other states</strong></p>
<p>Chief Minister Soren said that whatever you buy, there is tax on it. The tax money goes to the central government only. The poor people of the state were forced to live in darkness. The people of the state do not get old age pension and many people also died. Then started giving pension at the age of 60 years. But now the work of giving old age pension will be done only at the age of 50 years. He also said that neighboring states Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal are giving monthly pension of Rs 250 to Rs 300 to senior citizens. But we are giving pension of Rs 1000.</p>
<p><strong>Jharkhand developed after separation</strong></p>
<p>He said that everyone knows how much development the previous government did. The government was strongly opposed to a separate state. We fought for this. Now everyone knows how much development Jharkhand has achieved after becoming a separate state. Inflation has increased because of the capitalists.</p>
<p>Even salt became expensive. First the vegetables and pulses disappeared, now even the plate has disappeared. A camp was organized under the Aapki Yojana, Aapki Sarkar, Aapki Adhikar, Aapki Dwar programme. Efforts were made to solve everyone&#8217;s problems. Jharkhand is called the golden bird. Where there is mineral wealth, 40 percent of the minerals of the entire country are in Jharkhand alone.</p>
<p><strong>Do cow-goat rearing work</strong></p>
<p>We have worked to provide employment to people in private companies in the state. The central government sold all the companies to the capitalists. We cannot provide jobs to everyone, so we have come out with a plan for business and employment. You can also buy a car and drive it on rent. That&#8217;s why the work of providing vehicles was also done, the farmers are working hard. Rear hens so that eggs do not come from other states. Take care of cows, goats etc.</p>
<p><strong>Current Pension Scheme in Jharkhand</strong></p>
<p>Universal Pension Scheme is being run by the Government of Jharkhand for the people of economically and physically weaker sections. Under the scheme, pension benefits are given to the elderly above 60 years of age, widows, disabled people and people of tribal community of the state. Under this, Rs 1000 is given to the beneficiaries every month.</p>
<p>To join the scheme, the age of the elderly should be more than 60 years. At the same time, the age of the widow should be more than 18 years. For registration in pension, the needy has to fill the application form and submit it to the concerned block office. Pension benefits are given to eligible beneficiaries only after scrutiny of the application.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Old Age Pension: The Central Government has introduced the Old Age Pension Scheme to give a fixed amount every month to the senior citizens in the country to help them in their livelihood.</strong></p>
<p>If there is a senior citizen in your family and you do not have any means of regular income for their expenses, then you can take advantage of the Old Age Pension Scheme of the Central or State Government for them. Both the central and state governments together contribute to the old age pension scheme. Accordingly, the amount of old age pension scheme varies in every state of the country.</p>
<p>In states like Delhi, Haryana and Andhra Pradesh, where senior citizens get more than Rs 1000 a month as old age pension, in Himachal it is Rs 550, in Rajasthan 500, in Maharashtra 600, in Bihar 400 and in UP Rs 300. Let&#8217;s go.</p>
<p>The Central Government has introduced an old age pension scheme to give a fixed amount every month to senior citizens in the country to help them live.</p>
<p><strong>What is Old Age Pension Scheme?</strong></p>
<p>The government gives pension to the elderly people under the social security scheme. The National Old Age Pension Scheme (NOAPS) was started in the year 1995. The implementation of old age pension scheme is done jointly by both the central and state governments.</p>
<p>In this, the amount that the senior citizens who get benefits get, some share is from the center and some from the state.</p>
<p><strong>How many people are getting old age pension?</strong></p>
<p>According to government statistics, at present 3.5 crore people in the country are getting the benefit of old age pension scheme. At present, 3.19 crore senior citizens are getting the benefit of the pension scheme in the central government&#8217;s pension scheme and 28.74 lakh in the state government&#8217;s scheme.</p>
<p><strong>What is the share in old age pension scheme at present?<br />
</strong><br />
Senior citizens usually get pension at the rate of Rs 400-600 every month. From the year 2006, the central government&#8217;s share in old age pension is Rs 200 per month.</p>
<p>For the remaining amount, the central government sends additional help to the states.</p>
<p>Earlier, the age of senior citizens to participate in the old age pension scheme was 65 years, which has been reduced to 60 years from the year 2011.</p>
<p><b>Who can take advantage of old age pension scheme?</b></p>
<ul class="top-article bulletContent">
<li>The benefit of the National Old Age Pension Scheme is given only to those senior citizens, whose age is 60 years or more.</li>
<li>The applicant of old age pension scheme must belong to a family living below poverty line (BPL).</li>
<li>If the son/grandson of the applicant&#8217;s family is more than 20 years old, but he is also living below the poverty line, then also the applicant will get the benefit of this scheme.</li>
<li>Senior citizens above 60 years of age, even if they do not belong to the BPL family, can get the full amount of old age pension from the state government.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span>How to get old age pension?z</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Beneficiaries of National Old Age Pension Scheme can now apply for it sitting at home. From April 1, 2016, the process of its application has been made online.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>How much is the pension amount?z</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong><span>Senior citizens in the age group of 60 to 79 years are given the benefit of pension at the rate of Rs 300-1000 every month. In this amount, Rs 200 is given as contribution by the Government of India and the remaining amount by the State Government.</span></p>
<p><span>The amount is provided as Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension at the rate of Rs.500 per month to the elderly who are 80 years or more.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>can apply herez</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong><span>Old people of BPL family who are 60 or more years old can also apply for National Old Age Pension Scheme in RTPS office at block level in every district.</span></p>
<p><span>Separate subdivisional officers have been appointed in this office. After enrolling over the counter, the benefit of the scheme is given to the beneficiary.</span></p><p>The post <a href="https://www.rightsofemployees.com/old-age-pension-how-to-apply-in-the-old-age-pension-scheme-of-the-central-government/">Old Age Pension: How to apply in the old age pension scheme of the Central Government?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.rightsofemployees.com">Rightsofemployees.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Pension For Senior Citizens: There is great news for the elderly. Only a few days are left for the country&#8217;s budget to come and this time the government is going to give great news to the elderly.</strong></p>
<p>The Central Government prepares to provide some relief to all sections including the poor, women, farmers and the elderly. This time it is expected that there can be an increase in the pension scheme of the elderly population. Along with this, these people can also get the benefit of exemption in income tax.</p>
<p>You can get 3 big gifts before the general budget, some non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have given suggestions to take steps for the betterment of the elderly population of the country. These include increase in old age pension, additional income tax relief and GST exemption on products used repeatedly by older people.</p>
<p><strong>Agewell Foundation demands</strong></p>
<p>NGO Agewell Foundation said that in view of the increasing gap between old and young generation, changes in the lifestyle of older people in the light of longer life span, favorable provisions should be made in the budget. The Foundation said in a statement that it is necessary to engage with a large number of retired people to keep them continuously active.</p>
<p><strong>Pension should be revised</strong></p>
<p>The Foundation has appealed to the Ministry of Finance and other stakeholders to consider its recommendations and suggestions while finalizing the next budget. The statement said that the old age pension should be revised according to the current inflation.</p>
<p><strong>Pension to be increased by Rs 3000 per month</strong></p>
<p>The statement said that the present share of the central government in the monthly old age pension should be increased to Rs 3,000 per month for each eligible old age person. The State Government should also be advised to revise its share accordingly.</p>
<p><strong>Interest increased on investment schemes</strong></p>
