Haryana Old Age Samman Allowance — ₹3,000 Pension

What is the Haryana Old Age Samman Allowance?

The Old Age Samman Allowance is Haryana government's monthly pension for senior citizens aged 60 years and above. As of 2024–25, the monthly pension amount is ₹3,000 per month. The scheme is notable for having no income limit — any resident of Haryana aged 60+ who is not receiving any other government pension is eligible.

Key Benefits

Who is Eligible?

You ARE eligible if:

• You are 60 years of age or older
• You are a permanent resident of Haryana (minimum 15 years)
• You are not receiving any other central/state government pension (e.g., IGNOAPS, government job pension)
• You do not hold an elected post (MLA, MP, etc.)

You are NOT eligible if:

• You are receiving a government servant pension
• You are receiving any other old age / social security pension from Central or Haryana government

Important: Unlike most other states, Haryana Old Age Samman Allowance has no income/BPL limit — it is universal for all 60+ Haryana residents who don't already have a pension.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. My father is 65 and a Haryana resident but lives with us in Delhi. Is he eligible?

No. You must be a permanent resident of Haryana currently living in Haryana. Residing outside the state disqualifies you.

2. My mother receives ₹200/month from IGNOAPS. Can she also get Haryana pension?

She cannot get both central (IGNOAPS) and state (Old Age Samman) pension simultaneously — typically only one is given. Check with the DSWO office to confirm which is higher and switchable.

3. How is PPP (Parivar Pehchaan Patra) made?

Visit any CSC (Common Service Centre) or Atal Sewa Kendra with Aadhaar of all family members. The VLE creates the PPP for your family — it is free.

4. My pension was stopped without notice. What do I do?

Visit the DSWO office with your PPP ID and bank passbook. Common reasons: Aadhaar-bank link broken, incorrect data in PPP. Get the issue corrected and pension will resume.

5. The payment shows "sent" on the portal but hasn't reached my bank account. What do I do?

Check if your bank account Aadhaar seeding is active. Visit your bank branch with Aadhaar to verify. Also check with the District Treasury office through the DSWO.
