Increase Social Pensions Using a DA-Linked Formula

The promise combines two elements: an increase in all monthly social pensions and a scientific formula linking pension revisions with Dearness Allowance. Haryana increased the monthly social security pension from ₹3,000 to ₹3,200 with effect from November 1, 2025. An official February 2026 update reported that 36 lakh eligible beneficiaries were receiving ₹3,200 per month. This is meaningful delivery of the pension-increase objective. However, no approved-source notification or formula was found establishing an automatic or scientific DA-linked revision mechanism. The promise is therefore partial rather than fulfilled.

Budget: no formula-specific allocation or current utilisation statement covering all social pension categories was found.
