Karnataka Increases Income Limit for Social Security Pensions to Rs 1.20 Lakh

Thousands of families in Karnataka get an update for social security pensions. For the Varamahalakshmi festival, the state government raised the annual family income limit from Rs 32,000 to Rs 1.20 lakh. This change fixes an issue where the low income limit left out many daily wage workers and poor families.

Pension limit update

Revenue Minister Dr. G Parameshwara said this decision helps people whose pension payments stopped because of income certificate rules. If your pension stopped because your income was between the old and new limits, the payments will start again without problems. This covers schemes like Sandhya Suraksha Yojana, as well as widow, disabled, Manaswini, and Maitri pension schemes. This step matches current living costs.
