Good evening everyone, I hope you are all well. You all must be busy with your work. I am Deepak Sharma from Sonia Vihar, Delhi, speaking here. I want to connect directly on this platform and raise a question on behalf of Mr. Vishnu Yadav, who is from Gorakhpur. He is asking whether there has been any increase in the pension amount in the state or not. What he wants to know is whether the pension in Uttar Pradesh has increased or not. I want to inform you, Mr. Vishnu, that the pension in Uttar Pradesh has not increased. The pension in UP remains the same as before—there has been no hike in the pension amount. However, there has been an increase in the pension amount in Bihar. Earlier, the pension amount in Bihar was ₹400, and now it has been increased to ₹1,100. That means there has been a raise of ₹700 in Bihar's pension. So, regarding pensions—only Bihar's pension amount has increased. Bihar's pension was ₹400, and now it is ₹1,100, which means a hike of ₹700. As far as the pension in Uttar Pradesh is concerned, there has been no increase at all.
