Telangana Government clears 4.5 lakh new Cheyutha pensions

Hyderabad: The state government has sanctioned 4.5 lakh new Cheyutha pensions across Telangana, with funds scheduled for disbursement on November 19 to mark the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Distribution of sanction letters to newly approved beneficiaries commenced on a grand note statewide on Thursday, as MLAs, MPs, and public representatives handed over documents across various constituencies.

The Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Department, alongside the Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty, arranged comprehensive logistics to ensure smooth distribution operations. According to state officials, the newly sanctioned 4.5 lakh beneficiaries add to the 1,23,625 individuals already granted pensions since the Congress-led administration assumed office. With this substantial addition, total new pension recipients under the current government have reached 5,73,625 statewide. Sanction letter distribution will continue across all assembly constituencies until November 18. Following completion, pension funds will be directly disbursed to eligible recipients on November 19. Officials emphasised that the administration initiated this expansive sanctioning drive with the core objective of providing reliable financial and social security to every eligible citizen across Telangana.
