These pensions are provided to beneficiaries under Central government’s National Social Assistance Programmes (NSAP) and state government’s Madhu Babu Pension Scheme (MBPS).

The process of handing over of charge between former sarpanches to newly elected ones will take place towards the mid of this month. That apart, branches of commercial banks will remain closed on account of Holi, other government holidays from 11th to 13th. Therefore, steps should be taken to disburse pensions by 9th to avoid putting old, disabled pensioners at difficulty, Chandra said in the letter.
