Jai Ram Ramesh has commented that old age pension of Rs. 200/- L.M. is too less and insulting.
May be he is right. This should be increased to Rs. 1,000/- P.M. with free medical facility. However, the minimum age for eligibility should be increased to seventy years. Also, the recipients should be encouraged to voluntarily work in various government welfare schemes.

No doubt old age pension Rs. 200/- is not enough for a person. But which state giving this pension. In my state Rajasthan it is 400/- PM. Here free medicines is giving by Government hospitals without charges to every one. So old age person can also avail this facilities. In Haryana pension some more than Rajasthan. But it should be 1000/- PM.
I wish the old age pension system is centralised and they have one pay scale all over the nation.Now it is different in different states, in Karnataka it is Rs 500/, they also give the same amount for widows and disabled people as well..
Yes its too less I think it should be atleast 2000 Rs per month.
Please let me know in which state it is 200.

Atleast 50 Rs needed for leading lower middle class life. All prices are increased nowadays.
I don't think 200 is enough for even a couple of days. We should send telegrams to that state to increase to atleast 800 INR.
It is a very good idea to show our opinion to that state.
Mary, Do you know which is that State? If you know, please let me know. Let us do something for a noble cause.

I don't know which state it is.
Guys Please let me know which state it is. After knowing only, we can proceed. My opinion is to send many telegraphs to that state to increase the pension amount to 1,000 INR. I can send 1000 Telegrpahs on my own.
May be you can find some useful information through this link or through other links that are there on the same page...

How many of us are ready to send telegraphs. If anyone let me know the name of the state, I will Start.
Pension should be paid only to the people who are in need.This government is giving pension to needy and non needy and reducing the chance of needy to live with their pension.
Old pension certainly there is lot of corruption in our country those who deserve it really don't get and those who don't get it. Its really something for which government should do something. :blink:
They are at least contributing rs 8.66 what they think is almost one third of an average Indian spends in a day as per their recent report. remember rs 26 is enough for a day's expenses for an Indian according to our government. Is that not a joke?
I dont think our administrators and politicians are ready to even think abou the public. Guys please let me know if you agree with this.
