J&K Budget: Free Bus Ride For Women In Govt Buses, e Buses; Old-Age Pension Increased

On the eve of International Women’s Day, our  Government is proud to announce a transformative  initiative to empower women and promote
economic inclusion. I propose – Starting 1st April  2025, all women in Jammu & Kashmir will be  granted free ridership on government-owned  public transport, including eBuses.

Our Government remains committed to providing financial assistance to the most vulnerable sections  of society through the Integrated Social Assistance  Scheme (ISSS) and the National Social Assistance  Programme (NSAP). These critical social security
initiatives support old-aged persons, widows,  divorcees, and specially abled individuals who lack  financial stability. I propose an enhancement in
pension  amounts,  benefiting  10,07,324  individuals across Jammu & Kashmir.

₹1,250 per month for persons below 60 years of age
₹1,500 per month for persons aged between 60 and  below 80 years
₹2,000 per month for persons aged 80 years and above.
