About Haryana Shubhra Jyotsna Pension Scheme
On 16th April 2018, the General Administration Department, Government of Haryana, launched the “Haryana Shubhra Jyotsna Pension Scheme”. It pays a monthly pension of ₹10,000/- to Haryana residents who took an active part during the emergency period, i.e. 25.06.1975 to 21.03.1977, and were imprisoned under the MISA Act, 1971 and/or the Defence of India Act, 1962 and the Rules made under them. The scheme takes effect from 01.11.2017. The State Government meets the full cost of the scheme.
