Samajik Suraksha Pension Yojana (SSPY) is the pension scheme of Uttar Pradesh state. The programme is also known as Samajwadi Pension Scheme.SSPY is divided into three projects, which are Old Age Pension, Widow Pension, Divyang Pension. The main aim of all these schemes is to provide financial stability to the people of rural areas. We will see each pension scheme one by one first to get the exact idea of how these pension schemes work.

Old Age Pension: Part of SSPY

The central government of India and state governments are funding the “Indira Gandhi Old Age Pension Scheme (IGOAPS),” and it is managed by the Social Welfare Department from 1994. Under this Indira Gandhi Old Age Pension Scheme(IGOAPS), older people who have the age above 60 years and which are below the poverty line (BPL) are eligible to receive Rs.300 monthly pension directly in the bank account. From April 1, 2011, it is decided that the Central Government will contribute Rs.200, and the State Government will add Rs.100 in the pension schemes for the people whose age is 60-79 years, and Central Government will provide the Rs.500 pension for the people who are above 80 years.

The Gram Panchayat selects eligible candidates in rural areas and urban areas, Sub-district officer / District magistrate, selects the candidates after proper verification. Gram Panchayats sent the applications to the Social Welfare Department, and then after verification, pensioners get the pension in a bank account. Every year pensioners list get verified in May & June and get updated with new pensioners by replacing the dead pensioners.

Widow Pension: Part of SSPY

Widow whose age is between 18-60 and who are below the poverty line, gets a pension of Rs.300 per month. Children’s of the widow must be minor, or if they are not minor, they must be unable to nourish is the essential eligibility criteria to get the pension. If a widow is married again or she is availing other government schemes, then she is not eligible for the pension. The Gram Panchayat selects qualified candidates in rural areas and urban areas, Sub-district officer / District magistrate, selects the candidates after proper verification.

Divyang Pension: Part of SSPY

The disabled people whose age is more than 18 year and have a disability of at least 40% living below the poverty line. If the candidate is availed old age pension scheme, widow pension scheme or any other pension scheme, then he is not eligible for Divyang pension.
