Some websites mention a Rs.15,000 monthly pension for wheelchair users or bed-confined persons. That amount is not in G.O.Ms.No.43, dated 13 June 2024. Do not pay anyone who promises to get you a Rs.15,000 pension, and do not rely on that figure when you apply. The highest pension in the government order is Rs.10,000.
Who Can Apply
- You must be a resident of Andhra Pradesh.
- You must belong to one of the categories covered by the NTR Bharosa Pension Scheme (see the table above).
- For a disability pension, you must have a valid disability certificate.
- Your application is checked by officials before it is approved. False information or forged documents lead to rejection.
Documents to Take With You
- Aadhaar card
- Bank account details, with the account linked to Aadhaar
- Proof of residence in Andhra Pradesh
- The certificate that proves your category, for example a disability certificate for a disability pension, or proof of widowhood for a widow pension
How to Apply for NTR Bharosa Pension
- Visit your Grama Sachivalayam or Ward Sachivalayam.
- Ask for the NTR Bharosa Pension Scheme application form and fill it in.
- Attach the documents that prove your category.
- Officials verify your details and, where needed, carry out field verification.
- After approval, the pension is credited every month to your bank account by DBT.
How to Check NTR Bharosa Pension Status
- Open the official portal: https://sspensions.ap.gov.in
- Use the status-check option on the portal.
- Keep your Aadhaar number and pension details ready before you check.
If the portal shows no record, check the details you entered, and then ask at your Grama Sachivalayam or Ward Sachivalayam why your record is not showing.
If Your Pension Stops or Your Application Is Rejected
The most common reasons are an Aadhaar and bank account mismatch, pending eKYC, duplicate records, a certificate that is not valid for the category claimed, or an incomplete form. Correct the mismatch, complete the eKYC, and ask the officials at your Sachivalayam for the exact reason for the rejection before you apply again.
NTR Bharosa Pension Scheme: Pension Delivery on the 1st of Every Month
NTR Bharosa Pension Scheme pays out on the 1st of every month. The pension is delivered through your Grama Sachivalayam in rural areas and your Ward Sachivalayam in towns, by the village or ward volunteers who work with it, with Aadhaar e-KYC at the point of delivery. For many pensioners — especially older people and people with disabilities — this doorstep model means the pension comes to them at or near their home, instead of them having to travel to an office or wait in a long queue. Our guide to NTR Bharosa pension delivery explains the monthly cycle in detail: https://unqinformation.com/ntr-bharosa-pension-delivery/
Aadhaar e-KYC is the step that proves you are the right person to receive the pension, and it is central to the delivery system. Keep your Aadhaar card ready on pension day, and make sure your bank account is active and seeded with your Aadhaar, because the money is paid by Direct Benefit Transfer into that account. If you have changed your name, address or bank account, update the record at the Sachivalayam before the 1st, so the delivery is not held up. If you are away from home on the 1st, or unwell, tell your volunteer or Sachivalayam in advance so the delivery can be arranged.
If your pension does not arrive on the 1st, check your status first on the official portal at https://sspensions.ap.gov.in, where you can see whether your pension under the NTR Bharosa Pension Scheme is active and whether the month’s payment was released. If the portal shows a problem, or shows nothing at all, go to your Grama or Ward Sachivalayam with your Aadhaar card and bank passbook. If the Sachivalayam cannot resolve it, file a grievance on the GSWS NBM portal at https://gsws-nbm.ap.gov.in or call the helpline 1902.

NTR Bharosa Pension Scheme: The Categories in Detail
The Rs.4,000 a month group is the largest. It covers old age pensioners, widows, weavers, toddy tappers, single women, fishermen, ART (PLHIV) patients, traditional cobblers, transgender persons and Dappu artists. Single women have their own detailed guide — who qualifies, what documents to carry and how to apply — at https://unqinformation.com/ntr-bharosa-single-women-pension-4000-monthly-who-qualifies-documents-apply/ and the Sachivalayam is the place to apply for every one of these categories, since there is no online application form. Our guide to the Grama and Ward Sachivalayam explains how the single-window office works: https://unqinformation.com/grama-ward-sachivalayam-services-how-to-apply-for-any-ap-government-scheme/
The Rs.6,000 a month group under the NTR Bharosa Pension Scheme covers disabled persons and people with multi-deformity leprosy, and the Rs.10,000 a month group covers fully disabled persons, people with specified chronic diseases and CKD dialysis patients. For a disability pension you must have a valid disability certificate, and the certificate is what fixes the amount — so make sure it is current and matches your Aadhaar details before you apply.
One figure deserves a final warning. Some websites mention a Rs.15,000 monthly pension for wheelchair users or bed-confined persons. That amount is not in G.O.Ms.No.43, dated 13 June 2024, and the highest pension in the government order is Rs.10,000. Do not pay anyone who promises to get you a Rs.15,000 pension, and do not rely on that figure when you apply. NTR Bharosa Pension Scheme pays Rs.4,000, Rs.6,000 or Rs.10,000 a month, fixed by category — and that is the amount to expect.
