Centre Extends Social Security Programme with ₹53,428 Crore Outlay

BY Uday India

The Union Cabinet’s decision to continue the National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) for another five years, from 2026-27 to 2030-31, reinforces the government’s commitment to providing financial support to vulnerable sections of society. With an approved outlay of ₹53,428 crore, the programme will continue to serve millions of elderly people, widows and persons with disabilities. The proposed changes to disability pension eligibility are particularly significant, as they seek to extend assistance to a wider group of persons with disabilities. Alongside this social welfare decision, the Cabinet’s approval for the strategic restructuring of IDBI Bank signals a parallel effort to strengthen the banking sector and support economic growth.
