The Minister stated this decision was taken in place due to the concerns raised by the Election Commission about paying the allowance in September due to the announcement of elections.
Therefore, pensioners will receive Rs. 6,000 in October, which includes both the Rs. 3,000 interim allowance for October and the Rs. 3,000 arrears from September.
He further explained that starting from November, the pensioners will receive the Rs. 3,000 interim allowance in addition to the existing Rs. 2,500 monthly allowance.
