Karnataka Social Security Pension Income Limit
The Karnataka government has increased the annual income ceiling from Rs 32,000 to Rs 1,20,000 for beneficiaries covered under social security pension schemes.
The decision applies to eligible senior citizens, widows and persons with disabilities covered under these schemes.
The government has clarified that the revised income limit does not automatically make everyone earning up to Rs 1.20 lakh eligible for a pension.
Who can get the benefit?
Only those who meet all the eligibility conditions of the respective social security pension schemes and are approved through government verification will receive the benefit.
The revised income limit simply removes the earlier restriction that made many financially weaker applicants ineligible because their annual income exceeded Rs 32,000.
What has changed?
Earlier, beneficiaries with an annual income above Rs 32,000 were not eligible for these pension schemes.
According to the government, this income limit had remained unchanged for a long time.
the new rule, eligible beneficiaries earning more than Rs 32,000 but up to Rs 1.20 lakh will not lose pension benefits solely because of their income.
