Promise to increase the old-age pension under DSSY/DSSS to Rs 3,000 per month. The approved official source found lists DSSS financial assistance at Rs 2,000 per month for senior citizens, widows and disabled persons, with higher amounts for specific disability categories. The Goa Budget 2025-26 confirms a budgeted subsidy line for DSSS, and Times of India confirms the scheme remained active in 2025, but neither source confirms that old-age pension under DSSS was increased to Rs 3,000 per month. Status pending until an approved notification, budget speech, scheme amendment or reliable delivery source confirms the Rs 3,000 old-age pension.
Times of India reported active DSSS administration and beneficiary cleanup, but did not confirm an old-age pension increase to Rs 3,000 per month.
