From November 1, Andhra Pradesh will deliver the central and state shares of social security pensions separately. The central share will be credited directly to bank accounts, while secretariat staff will hand over the state share in cash at beneficiaries' homes. Of the Rs 4,000 pension, Rs 200 is central and Rs 3,800 state; for disabled persons, Rs 300 of Rs 6,000 is central and Rs 5,700 state. Aadhaar linkage is essential. Over 13.70 lakh new applications were received, with about 3 lakh sanctions likely in the first phase.
