ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

(SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a) & (b) Under National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) of Department of Rural Development, there is no proposal to implement pension scheme for all citizens above 60 years of age in the country. Old age pension under Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme (IGNOAPS) of NSAP is given to old aged persons above 60 years belonging to Below Poverty Line (BPL) households as per state cap. Under IGNOAPS, monthly pension at the rate of Rs.200/- is given to old aged persons in the age group of 60 to 79 years. The amount of monthly pension is increased to Rs.500/- in respect of these beneficiaries on reaching the age of 80 years and above. In the Bihar state eligible beneficiaries get pension under the IGNOAPS up to the state ceiling. The state gives a top up of Rs.200 over the central assistance to the beneficiaries in the age group of 60-79 years.

Further, as per information received from State Govt. of Bihar, under Mukhyamantri Vriddhjan Pension Yojna of the State, old aged persons in the age group of 60 to 79 years in all income groups who are not recipient of any kind of salary, pension, family pension from the State or Central Government or any other social security pension are given monthly pension of Rs.400/-. The amount of monthly pension is increased to Rs.500/- in respect of these beneficiaries on reaching the age of 80 years and above.
