Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension pays ₹10,000 a month to people in Andhra Pradesh who need dialysis for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to people with specified chronic diseases, under the NTR Bharosa pension scheme. It is the highest monthly pension in the NTR Bharosa family — twice the standard ₹4,000 — because dialysis is a treatment that must be repeated again and again, and because it keeps a person away from work for hours at a time. This guide explains who qualifies, what documents are needed, how to apply at the Grama or Ward Sachivalayam, and how to check your payment status.

Kidney failure changes a family’s daily life. Treatment does not end after one hospital visit: the patient must return to the hospital regularly, travel often, eat carefully, and manage medicines alongside everything else. A steady pension of ₹10,000 a month does not pay for the treatment itself, but it helps with the costs that pile up around it — travel, food and the income a family loses when a working member cannot work full days.

What Is the Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension?

The Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension is one of the highest-value categories under NTR Bharosa, the pension scheme notified through G.O.Ms.No.43 on 13 June 2024. NTR Bharosa brings together the state’s different pension categories — old age, disability, weavers, ART, leprosy and dialysis — under one set of household eligibility rules and one application channel, the Grama or Ward Sachivalayam. The dialysis pension is for people whose kidneys have failed and who need regular dialysis, and for people with specified chronic diseases; it also covers the fully disabled. It pays ₹10,000 every month into the beneficiary’s bank account.

How Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension Fits into NTR Bharosa

Every NTR Bharosa category follows the same household rules: the family should hold a white rice card, monthly income should be within ₹10,000 in rural areas or ₹12,000 in urban areas, it should own less than 3 acres of wet land or less than 10 acres of dry land, use less than 300 units of electricity a month, and have no government employee or income-tax payer in the family. What changes is the single extra document that proves the category — a departmental certificate for weavers, a District Medical Board certificate for transgender persons, and a medical certificate for the dialysis pension.

Why the Dialysis Pension Pays ₹10,000

₹10,000 is the top rate in the NTR Bharosa scheme, and only two categories receive it: the dialysis pension and the disability pension for the fully disabled. Most categories — old age, widow, weavers, transgender persons and the ART pension — receive ₹4,000 a month, and the leprosy pension receives ₹6,000. The higher rate recognises that dialysis and severe disability take a person out of regular work almost entirely.

Who Can Apply for Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension?

The Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension is for a person with chronic kidney disease who is receiving dialysis in a government or network hospital, or a person with a specified chronic disease recognised under the scheme, or a fully disabled person. The treatment or the disability is the core condition, so the applicant needs a medical certificate from the treating hospital. Apply at the Grama or Ward Sachivalayam, where staff do Aadhaar e-KYC and check the household conditions.

We could not verify a separate age limit for this pension category on the official pension portal, so we do not state one here. Do not take any age figure from informal sources as final — confirm it at your Sachivalayam when you apply.

• A white rice card (BPL) household.
• Monthly family income of ₹10,000 or less in rural areas, or ₹12,000 or less in urban areas.
• Land holding below 3 acres of wet land or below 10 acres of dry land.
• Electricity consumption below 300 units a month.
• No government employee and no income-tax payer in the family.
• Aadhaar e-KYC completed at the Sachivalayam.

These household conditions are checked for every NTR Bharosa pension, and they are the same for the dialysis pension. If your household meets them and you are on dialysis — or you have a recognised chronic disease — you can apply. If a condition is not met, the pension is not available, so check the household rules first.

Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension: Documents You Need

Keep your documents ready before you visit the Sachivalayam, because a missing paper is the most common reason an application is sent back.

• Aadhaar card — for identity and e-KYC at the Sachivalayam.
• Medical certificate or dialysis records — proof that you are on dialysis or have a specified chronic disease, from the treating hospital (government or network hospital). These records are confidential and verify your category only.
• White rice card — to show the household is a BPL family.
• Income certificate — issued through the Sachivalayam or MeeSeva, showing income is within the limit.
• Bank account details — the pension is paid into a bank account, so link the account to Aadhaar (NPCI seeding) so payments do not fail.
• Passport-size photograph and mobile number — for the application record and for updates about your application.

Your medical records are private. The hospital and the Sachivalayam handle them as confidential documents, used only to confirm your pension category — not shared or published anywhere. If you are worried about your papers, ask the Sachivalayam staff at the counter — they handle pension applications of this kind regularly.

How to Apply for Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension: Step by Step

1. Visit your Grama or Ward Sachivalayam with your Aadhaar card and medical certificate or dialysis records.
2. Complete Aadhaar e-KYC at the counter and give your household details — rice card, income and land.
3. Submit the application with the documents listed above. Keep the acknowledgement number you are given.
4. The Sachivalayam forwards the application for verification of the household conditions and the medical certificate.
5. Once approved, the pension of ₹10,000 a month is credited to your Aadhaar-seeded bank account.
6. Check your status any time on the official NTR Bharosa pension portal using your Aadhaar details.

There is no online application form: apply in person at the Sachivalayam, because Aadhaar e-KYC and document verification happen at the counter. If you cannot travel easily, ask at the Sachivalayam what help is available.

Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension: Payment and Status Check

The Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension pays ₹10,000 every month, credited directly to the beneficiary’s bank account. The payment depends on your bank account being correctly seeded with Aadhaar through NPCI: if the seeding is missing or points to an old account, the money can fail even after the pension is approved. If a payment does not arrive, check the pension status on sspensions.ap.gov.in with your Aadhaar number, and check your Aadhaar bank seeding — a mismatch there is a common reason payments stop.

You can also check your beneficiary status and raise a complaint on the GSWS NBM portal, or call helpline 1902 about a pension that has not been paid. Keep your acknowledgement number with you when you call.

What ₹10,000 a Month Means for a Dialysis Patient

Dialysis sessions take hours, and a patient must travel to the hospital again and again — travel, food and time away from work add up every week. The pension cushions exactly those costs, so treatment does not push a family deeper into debt. It is paid every month, like every other NTR Bharosa pension, into the same Aadhaar-seeded bank account. For official updates, check the Andhra Pradesh government portal and the pension portal.

Common Reasons for Delay or Rejection

• Medical certificate missing or incomplete. The certificate or dialysis record must clearly show that you are on dialysis or have a specified chronic disease.
• Household conditions not met. Income, land, electricity use or a government employee in the family can disqualify the application.
• Aadhaar e-KYC not completed. The application cannot move forward until e-KYC is done at the Sachivalayam.
• Bank account not seeded with Aadhaar. Even an approved pension cannot be paid into an unseeded or wrong account.
• Name mismatch. If the name on your Aadhaar card differs from the name on your other records, verification can stall.

Dialysis & Chronic Disease Pension vs Other NTR Bharosa Pensions

The amount, the household rules and the application channel are the same across most NTR Bharosa categories — only the category document changes. This table shows where the dialysis pension sits.

The household conditions and the Sachivalayam channel are the same for every row in this table. If the pension payment stops for any category, the checks are the same too: Aadhaar seeding, e-KYC, and the household conditions.
