Telangana has extended its “Instant pension” facility beyond the old-age pension category for women, expanding the reach of the scheme in the state.
The decision is expected to benefit families of persons with disabilities, toddy tappers, handloom weavers, dialysis patients and those affected by HIV and filariasis.
Officials said the expanded facility will now cover more eligible women linked to these categories, though further details on implementation were not specified in the input.
