The Union Cabinet has extended the National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) by five years, 2026-27 to 2030-31, with ₹53,428 crore. Begun in 1995 for the elderly, widows and persons with disabilities, NSAP now becomes the Pradhan Mantri Samajik Sahayata Yojana. Its components are also renamed: IGNOAPS becomes Pradhan Mantri Vridhavastha Pension Yojana, IGNWPS becomes Pradhan Mantri Vidhawa Pension Yojana, IGNDPS becomes Pradhan Mantri Divyangjan Pension Yojana and NFBS becomes Pradhan Mantri Parivar Labh Yojana. Monthly disability pension rises from ₹300 to ₹375 (0-79 years) and ₹500 to ₹625 (80-plus). The disability threshold falls from 80% to 40% and now covers disability from birth; old-age and widow pensions are unchanged.
