Jaipur : The Rajasthan government has strengthened its commitment to social welfare by increasing the Rajasthan Social Security Pension amount to Rs 1,450 per month. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, the pension scheme has been gradually enhanced over the past two years, providing economic security and dignity to thousands of vulnerable citizens across the state.
Rajasthan Social Security Pension Amount Increased Significantly
Since 2024, the Rajasthan Social Security Pension has witnessed a steady rise. The monthly amount increased from Rs 1,000 in 2024 to Rs 1,150, then to Rs 1,250 in 2025, followed by Rs 1,300 in January 2026. With the latest increase, pensioners now receive Rs 1,450 per month, marking a total increment of Rs 450 over two years.
Over 91 Lakh Beneficiaries Receive Regular Support
Currently, more than 91 lakh beneficiaries, including senior citizens, widows, single women, persons with disabilities, and small and marginal farmers, are receiving regular pensions under the Rajasthan Social Security Pension scheme. These initiatives aim to provide economically weaker sections with minimum financial support to ensure a dignified and self-reliant life.
Direct Benefit Transfer Ensures Timely Payments
To ensure transparency and timely distribution, the state government has adopted the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system for the Rajasthan Social Security Pension. Under this system, the pension amount is directly credited to beneficiaries’ Aadhaar-linked bank accounts, guaranteeing fast and secure payment.
