28.61 lakh beneficiaries of MBPY receive social security pensions from the state government in the amounts of Rs. 500, Rs. 700, and Rs. 900 each month.
Beneficiaries supported by this program include elderly individuals, widows, disabled people, single mothers, cured leprosy patients, AIDS patients, divorcees and poor people, transgender people, widows, and orphan children of Covid-affected families, among other vulnerable people.
