Frequently asked questions
Pension stopped suddenly. Why?
Usually Aadhaar-bank seeding failed or annual verification is pending. Check with your bank and the block social welfare office.
How much pension will I get?
The central share is ₹200–₹500/month depending on age and scheme; most states add their own top-up, so the total varies by state.
Can a widow get both widow pension and old age pension?
No — only one NSAP pension per person. Widow pension converts to old age pension at the eligible age.
How do I apply if my name is not in the list?
Apply at your block office or state social welfare portal with Aadhaar, age proof and BPL/income proof. It is free.
