Manipur Social Security Pension

What is Manipur Social Security Pension?

Growing old without steady income, losing a spouse, or living with a serious disability can leave a Manipur family exposed — the state's Social Security Pension exists to soften that. Anyone above 60, a widow with no regular income, or a person holding a 40%+ disability certificate qualifies for ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 every month, provided the household is below the poverty line. Run by the Social Welfare Department, the payment tops up the central IGNOAPS and IGNDPS pensions rather than replacing them, so both add together for the beneficiary. Over 60,000 people across Manipur's valley and hill districts now draw this combined pension monthly via DBT into Aadhaar-linked bank accounts.
