Our Assessment

low

The declaration promised to reduce the old-age pension eligibility age from 57 to 50 years for all communities engaged in caste occupations, extending a benefit currently limited to toddy tappers and weavers. No approved-source evidence was found that the eligibility age has been reduced to 50 for these additional caste-occupation communities as of July 2026. Absent verifiable delivery, the verdict is pending. Budget: no approved-source evidence of an allocation for the expanded eligibility was found.
