According to officials, the Department of Women Welfare transferred the second-quarter pension instalment for the 2025-26 financial year to 36,75,623 Aadhaar-linked bank accounts through the Public Financial Management System in the first week of August. <\/p>\n

The move is aimed at ensuring that beneficiaries are able to celebrate the upcoming festivals without any financial constraints. <\/p>\n

The state’s ‘Nirashrit Mahila Pension Yojana’, run by the Women Welfare Department, is designed to provide social and economic support to women who have lost their husbands. <\/p>\n

Under this scheme, women over 18 years and permanent residents of Uttar Pradesh with a family income not exceeding \u20b92 lakh per annum, receive a monthly pension of \u20b91,000. <\/p>\n

To maintain transparency and efficiency, the funds are directly transferred into the beneficiaries’ Aadhaar-linked bank accounts via PFMS. <\/p>\n

In the first quarter of 2025-26, the government had disbursed \u20b91,062.15 crore to 35,78,111 eligible women. In the current quarter, the amount increased both in terms of total funds and number of beneficiaries. <\/p>\n

Women Welfare Department Director Sandeep Kaur said the pension disbursement was advanced keeping in mind the upcoming festivals, as per the directions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. <\/p>\n

“The chief minister’s intent is to ensure that no eligible woman is left out of the benefits of the scheme,” Kaur said. <\/p>\n

Eligible women can apply for the pension scheme online by visiting the web portal at http:spy-up.gov.in. This digital initiative is part of the government’s push for transparency and ease of access, allowing applicants to avail themselves of the scheme without hassle. <\/p>\n

The department has also committed to ensuring fast and fair processing of applications so that more women can benefit from the scheme. <\/p>\n
