What this scheme offers
Haryana pays eligible residents aged 60 or above ₹3,200 every month, directly into their bank account. The rate was ₹3,000 from 1 January 2024 and rose to ₹3,200 from 1 November 2025, which keeps it among the highest state old-age pensions in the country. The scheme dates back to 1966 and was renamed the Old Age Samman Allowance in 1991. Eligibility is deliberately simple — age, domicile and a combined household income of up to ₹3 lakh a year — and applicants can apply through the SARAL portal or an Atal Seva Kendra.
