Triple old-age pension to Rs 3,600/month

Reviewed 29 September 2026. Uttarakhand's Social Welfare Department continues to list old-age pension at Rs 1,500 per month for eligible senior citizens, below the promised Rs 3,600. September reporting confirms release of Rs 147.05 crore for August social-security pensions covering over 9.91 lakh beneficiaries across several schemes; that total is not an old-age-only beneficiary count. It supports continued pension delivery, not an increase to Rs 3,600. Retained as partial because the payment level exceeds the manifesto baseline of Rs 1,200 but remains below the stated target.
