Frequently Asked Questions

1. My husband left me 5 years ago. I have no divorce certificate. Can I still apply?

Yes. Abandoned/deserted women can apply with a self-declaration + supporting community or panchayat certificate. The SDO has discretion to accept these cases — visit the SDO office for guidance.

2. I am a widow with two adult children. Do I still get pension?

Yes. Having adult children does not disqualify you. The scheme is for women without their own income — having children does not affect eligibility.

3. I am 25, widowed, with a young child. Am I eligible?

Yes. Minimum age is 18 — you qualify. You receive ₹500/month at age 18–54.

4. Can I get both Ekl Nari Pension and IGNWPS (central widow pension)?

No. You cannot receive both a state and central pension for the same condition. The higher of the two benefits typically applies — in Rajasthan, Ekl Nari may be integrated with IGNWPS. Confirm with the SDO.

5. The pension was approved but stopped after 3 months. Why?

Common reasons: Aadhaar-bank link issue, re-verification pending, or data mismatch in Jan Aadhaar. Visit the E-Mitra centre or SDO office to diagnose the issue.
