NTR Bharosa Disability Pension pays Rs.6,000 or Rs.10,000 a month, depending on the type and extent of disability. The amount is fixed by G.O.Ms.No.43, dated 13 June 2024, and the key document is the SADAREM disability certificate. This guide explains the two amounts, who qualifies for each, how SADAREM assessment works, which documents you need and how to apply at your Grama or Ward Sachivalayam.

The pension is paid on the 1st of every month, by direct benefit transfer into your Aadhaar-seeded bank account. Your category — Rs.6,000 or Rs.10,000 — comes from your SADAREM certificate and medical records, so getting those documents right is the first step.

Key Facts

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension: The Rs.6,000 Category

Rs.6,000 a month is paid to persons with a disability of 40% or more, as certified through SADAREM. The certificate records the type of disability and the percentage, and the percentage decides the amount. If your certificate shows 40% or more, you qualify for Rs.6,000 a month.

If your disability is below 40%, you do not qualify for the disability pension. That is the hardest rule in the scheme — a person with a real disability assessed below 40% gets nothing from this pension. If you believe the assessment is wrong, you can ask for a re-assessment through the medical board.

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension: The Rs.10,000 Category

Rs.10,000 a month is paid to fully disabled persons, to people with specified chronic diseases, and to people on dialysis. For this category you need a medical certificate or dialysis records from a government hospital, along with your SADAREM certificate.

The Rs.10,000 category is for people who cannot work at all or who need regular, expensive treatment. A person on dialysis, for example, needs treatment several times a week — the higher pension recognises that cost. Keep your hospital records safe: the pension office asks for them when you apply in this category.

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension: The SADAREM Certificate

SADAREM stands for Software for Assessment of Disabled for Access Rehabilitation and Empowerment. It is the system the government uses to assess disability and issue the disability certificate. A medical board examines the person, records the type and percentage of disability, and the certificate is issued through SADAREM.

Assessment is done at SADAREM camps or at the District Disability Rehabilitation Centre, by a medical board. The Sachivalayam can tell you where and when the next assessment camp is held in your area. Carry your Aadhaar and any medical records you already have, such as discharge papers or prescriptions, so the board can see your history.

If you already hold a SADAREM certificate, take it to the Sachivalayam with your application. If you do not have one, get assessed first — you cannot apply for the disability pension without the certificate.

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension: Who Else Qualifies

Disability pensioners must also meet the common NTR Bharosa rules: the family holds a white ration card, and the family income, land and electricity use are within the scheme’s limits. The family income must be up to Rs.10,000 a month in rural areas or Rs.12,000 a month in urban areas, and the family must not own more than 3 acres of wet land or 10 acres of dry land.

If your white ration card is wrong — a missing member or a wrong name — get it corrected at the Sachivalayam before you apply, because the pension office checks the card as it stands. A family with a government employee or an income-tax payer in it cannot get the pension.

There is no age limit for the disability pension. A child with a disability of 40% or more can also qualify, with the parent or guardian applying on the child’s behalf.

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension: Documents You Need

• Aadhaar card.
• White ration card.
• SADAREM disability certificate, with the disability percentage.
• For the Rs.10,000 category: medical certificate or dialysis records from a government hospital.
• Bank account passbook — the pension is paid by DBT into the Aadhaar-seeded bank account.
• Mobile number linked to Aadhaar.

Keep a photocopy of every document you submit. If the application is sent back for a missing paper, the copy tells you exactly what was given and what is missing.

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension: How to Apply — Step by Step

1. Get your SADAREM certificate first. Go to a SADAREM camp or the District Disability Rehabilitation Centre with your Aadhaar and medical records, and collect the certificate showing your disability percentage.
2. Go to your Grama Sachivalayam (in villages) or Ward Sachivalayam (in towns) with the documents above. The application is free.
3. Ask for the NTR Bharosa disability pension application form and fill it in, or get help from the Sachivalayam staff. Submit the form with your SADAREM certificate.
4. The Sachivalayam verifies your details and the certificate, and sends the application to the pension office. Keep the acknowledgement or application number — you need it to check the status.
5. If approved, your pension starts from the next payment cycle and is credited monthly to your Aadhaar-seeded bank account.

Fresh applications are accepted in announced windows — the most recent window was 7 to 16 September 2026. If you miss a window, watch for the next announcement at your Sachivalayam.

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension: How the Pension Is Paid

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension is paid by direct benefit transfer into your Aadhaar-seeded bank account, on the 1st of every month. The money is delivered at your doorstep. Keep the account active — a closed or frozen account stops the payment.

If a payment has not come on the 1st, check two things before anything else: whether your Aadhaar is seeded to your bank account, and whether the NPCI mapping is active. Check your Aadhaar bank seeding first — the common reasons a pension stops are explained in our guide.

Check your pension status on https://sspensions.ap.gov.in using your Aadhaar number or pension ID. If the status shows a problem, call the helpline 1902 or visit your Sachivalayam. The state’s schemes and services are listed on https://www.ap.gov.in/

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension: What Happens If Your Disability Percentage Changes

The pension amount follows the SADAREM percentage, so if your disability is reassessed and the percentage changes, your pension category can change too. A higher percentage can move you to a higher amount — ask for a re-assessment through the medical board if your condition has worsened.

The same record check applies in reverse. If the Sachivalayam finds that the family no longer meets the eligibility rules — for example, a member has joined government service — the pension stops. If the pensioner dies, the family must inform the Sachivalayam; the pension cannot be transferred to another family member.

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension: How It Compares with Other NTR Bharosa Pensions

NTR Bharosa Disability Pension sits in the same scheme as the other NTR Bharosa pensions, under the same G.O.Ms.No.43 dated 13 June 2024. The old-age pension pays Rs.4,000 a month, and the single-women pension also pays Rs.4,000 a month. The disability pension pays more — Rs.6,000 or Rs.10,000 — because disability brings extra costs.

You apply in one category — the one that matches your SADAREM certificate. If the application is made in the wrong category, the officer has to send it back or ask for a fresh one in the right category. The single women pension and the main NTR Bharosa pension scheme are explained in our other guides.
