Haryana Old Age Pension Increase Diwali 2025: This year’s Diwali is going to be a happy one for the elderly as well. In fact, starting next month, their pensions will also be increasing. As a Diwali gift to the elderly, the Haryana government has announced an increase of ₹500 in their old-age pension. This increased pension will be effective from November 1st.
How much pension will they receive now?
Today, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini approved this decision in a cabinet meeting. He announced that starting November 1st, senior citizens will receive a pension of ₹3500 instead of ₹3000. It should be noted that the previous increase was ₹2700 to ₹3000 on January 1st, 2024. Several other decisions were also taken at this cabinet meeting, including changes to the Haryana Police recruitment rules. Now, 50% of the Sub-Inspector (Male) positions will be filled through promotion instead of direct recruitment. Apart from this, the validity of Common Eligibility Test (CET) score for recruitment to Group-C and Group-D posts has been extended for 3 years.
In 2014, the pension was only ₹1,000.
When the BJP government came to power in Haryana in 2014, the pension for the elderly was ₹1,000. It then increased to ₹1,200 in 2015, then ₹1,600 in November 2016. The pension was then increased to ₹2,250 in 2020. The following year, in April 2021, it was increased to ₹2,500, in April 2023, to ₹2,750, and in 2024, it was increased to ₹3,000.
