Our Assessment
highhigh
Widow pension has been increased from earlier levels, but official/UMANG scheme material shows ₹1,500 per month rather than ₹2,000. The direction of delivery is positive, but the promised ₹2,000 monthly amount is not achieved in verified current scheme material. Budget: Pension liability exists under social welfare schemes; no ₹2,000 widow-pension allocation verified.
