Vijayawada, 3rd Oct. On Friday, the YSR Pension Kanuka was distributed to the recipients. The pension was distributed to 56,66,888 people on Friday. For the month of October, the government paid a pension to a total of 60,81,073 individuals in the state.

On the first day, 95.23 percent of eligible people got their pensions. The maximum percentage of persons receiving pensions is 95.23 percent in YSR district, while the lowest percentage is 90.80 percent in Visakhapatnam district. Pensions would be delivered at the doorsteps of beneficiaries over the following four days.

The AP administration has relaxed the YSR Pension Kanuka rules. Beneficiaries who have been away from their hometowns for the last six months for various reasons can now collect pensions in the areas where they are residing by registering their information with the appropriate village/area secretariats, according to the new rules. This decision was made by the government of Andhra Pradesh to guarantee that recipients are not inconvenienced during the distribution of pensions.
