Increase the senior-citizen pension to Rs 1,500 per month

The manifesto jointly promised to raise pensions for senior citizens and persons with disabilities to Rs 1,500 per month; this atomic row assesses the senior-citizen component. Rajasthan’s Economic Review 2025-26 records a monthly pension of Rs 1,250 under the Mukhya Mantri Old Age Samman Pension Yojana. It reports 51.90 lakh beneficiaries and expenditure of Rs 7,124.78 crore during 2025-26 up to December. The pension has increased and is being delivered at large scale, but the promised Rs 1,500 monthly rate has not been reached. The senior-citizen component is therefore partial. Budget: Rs 7,124.78 crore was spent under the state old-age pension scheme during 2025-26 up to December, confirming substantial utilisation but not the promised benefit rate.
