Madhu Babu Pension Amount in 2026

This is where a lot of confusion exists online. Here is what official decisions and news reports say.

%%{init: {"themeVariables": {"xyChart": {"plotColorPalette": "#43a047"}}}}%%
xychart-beta
    title "Monthly old age pension in Odisha (Rs), as reported in 2026"
    x-axis ["Age 60 to 79", "Age 80 and above"]
    y-axis "Rs per month" 0 --> 4000
    bar [1000, 3500]

What this means for you: The big increase to ₹3,500 was given first to people aged 80+ and to those with 80% or higher disability. Many websites claim that everyone now gets ₹3,000 or ₹3,500, but official reports from the Odisha Assembly in September 2026 still show ₹1,000 for ages 60 to 79 under the old age pension. If your parent turned 80 recently, make sure the Block office has updated the age, so they move to the higher amount.

Your Pension Has Stopped? Read This First

In September 2026, the Odisha Assembly was told that about 20.33 lakh old age pension beneficiaries had faced delays of up to five months because of technical problems. The state said the pending money, with arrears, would be released by October 2026.

So, if your pension stopped recently, it may not be your fault. Do this:

1. Check your status by Aadhaar on the SSEPD page. If it still shows approved / sanctioned, your name has not been removed.
2. Check your bank passbook or SMS for any credits.
3. Check payment details on PFMS, the government’s payment system. To open it, Click Here, choose “Know Your Payments”, and enter your bank name and account number.
4. Make sure your bank account is linked with Aadhaar and is active (accounts with no use for a long time can become inactive).
5. If the problem continues, call the SSEPD helpline 1800-345-7150 or visit your BDO / ULB office with your Aadhaar and passbook.
