Andhra Pradesh Election Commission Allows Pension Payments During MCC
What happened
The Andhra Pradesh State Election Commission allowed social security pension payments to existing beneficiaries during the Model Code of Conduct. However, the commission strictly prohibited any new enrolments, pension increases, or revisions until the election code remains in force. This decision followed a proposal submitted by the Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty.

Why it matters
The decision ensures that vulnerable sections of society, including senior citizens, widows, and persons with disabilities, continue to receive regular pension payments without disruption. This maintains social well-being and ensures compliance with election authorities during the election period in Andhra Pradesh.
