Cash Payments to Madhu Babu Pension Yojana Beneficiaries from June

Bhubaneswar: From the month of June all beneficiaries of the Madhu Babu Pension Yojana (MBPY) of the Odisha Government will receive cash payments at disbursement centers on 15th of every month. Older and disabled pensioners, who cannot move to disbursement places, will receive pension at their doorsteps.

The state government has directed all Collectors and Commissioners of Municipal Corporations regarding this through a letter.

“You are kindly aware that pension was disbursed to about half the beneficiaries under MBPY in DBT mode in the month of May-2023. However, many old and disabled beneficiaries are facing difficulties in withdrawing/ collecting cash from their bank accounts. Some beneficiaries have also not received pension in time due to technical glitch in the portal,” the letter said.

“Keeping in view the above, the State Government has decided that all MBPY beneficiaries will receive pension in cash from June-2023 onwards. Accordingly, all beneficiaries under Madhu Babu Pension Yojana will be receiving cash on 15th of every month (Jana Seva Diwas) at disbursement places as before,” the letter said.

Older and disabled pensioners, who can’t move to disbursement places, will receive pension at their doorsteps, the letter added.
