Raise senior-citizen pensions to ₹2,100 monthly
· Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024
Last updated 25 Oct 2026
What does this status mean?
The term is active and there is no evidence of action or reversal.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“Increase senior-citizen pensions to ₹2,100 monthly.”
Our Assessment
The 27 March 2026 government order retains ₹1,500 assistance and distinguishes a ₹2,500 increase for disabled beneficiaries. It does not establish the promised ₹2,100 pension for senior citizens generally. The pre-election pension rate is not counted as delivery of the increase.

Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why pending?

02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
A dated government order and the department's scheme page agree on the general rate.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- An applicable pension-rate order and payment evidence for eligible senior citizens.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
