Chandigarh, May 5, 2025 – In a strong move towards digital governance and inclusive welfare, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini on Monday transferred ₹7.48 crore directly into the bank accounts of 24,695 new beneficiaries of the state’s social security pension schemes.

The announcement came during a live digital event, where CM Saini congratulated all newly enrolled pensioners, emphasizing the government’s commitment to empowering the underprivileged through seamless digital inclusion and timely financial assistance.
Direct Benefit Transfer Strengthens Transparency
With this latest initiative, Haryana reinforces its commitment to the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism, ensuring that government support reaches eligible citizens without delays or intermediaries. This effort not only minimizes administrative bottlenecks but also eliminates corruption and leakage of funds.
“This is more than a transfer of funds—it is a transfer of trust and care from the government to its people,” CM Saini said.
The ₹7.48 crore disbursed covered beneficiaries under various state-run social security pension schemes, including:
- Old Age Samman Allowance
- Widow Pension Scheme
- Disability Pension Scheme
- Lal Dora and Destitute Women Pension
- Financial aid for transgenders and economically vulnerable citizens

- Transfer Mode: Direct bank credit via single-click DBT
- Location: State-wide beneficiaries across Haryana

Focus on Social Equity and Inclusion
Haryana’s pension reforms are designed to ensure financial security for society’s most vulnerable groups. By digitizing the process, the state is making public welfare more accessible, especially in rural and remote areas.
The beneficiaries of this disbursement include:
- Senior citizens above the age of 60

This approach is in line with the Digital India mission, aiming to modernize public services and promote financial inclusion across states.
