Haryana’s Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar, recently announced the initiation of a monthly pension program for unmarried individuals aged between 40 and 60 in the state.
Monthly Pension Scheme in Haryana for Unmarried Individuals and Widowers
According to the announcement, unmarried men and women falling within this age bracket will receive a monthly pension of Rs 2,750. The pension will be available to those with an annual income of less than Rs 1.80 lakhs. The decision was prompted by a request from a 60-year-old unmarried individual during a public dialogue program.
A report from the Chief Minister’s office estimates that around 1.25 lakh unmarried individuals will benefit from this pension scheme, as reported by ABP News. In addition to unmarried individuals, the Chief Minister also declared a monthly pension for widowers between the ages of 40 and 60. Widowers falling within this age range and with an annual income of less than Rs 3 lakh will receive a pension of Rs 2,750 per month.
