Samajwadi pension yojana VS Rani Laxmibai Pension Yojana

With the purpose of helping the economically poor section of our society, the Rani Laxmibai Pension Yojana was launched in 2013-14 by the Uttar Pradesh government. Immediately after this scheme, this new scheme called Samajwadi Pension Yojana came into existence in 2014. Now, it is expected that this newly launched pension scheme will replace the old pension scheme.

Under the Rani Laxmibai Pension Yojana, a family was entitled to receive Rs. 400 as monthly pension which was deposited to the back account of a family head in six-monthly instalments. But, a family head can receive pension up to Rs. 750 under the Samajwadi pension yojana. It offers an amount of Rs. 500 as monthly pension which is higher than the amount offered by the Rani Laxmibai Pension Yojana.

In a nutshell, the Samajwadi pension yojana is a great initiative taken by the Government of Uttar Pradesh to help the financially weak and needy section of Uttar Pradesh. It is one of the most popular social security schemes to be launched so far.
