⚠️ 2026 Amount — Major Hike!
Most competitor sites show WRONG old amounts:

|---|---|---|
| Earlier | ₹300-₹700/month | ₹500-₹1,200/month |

Mukhyamantri Sahayata Yojana = enhanced version of MBPY। Same beneficiaries — significantly higher amounts। DBT — Aadhaar-linked bank account।
Madhu Babu = Mukhyamantri Sahayata Yojana — Same Scheme!
Original scheme = Madhu Babu Pension Yojana (since 2008) Enhanced version = Mukhyamantri Sahayata Yojana (2024 BJP government) Same beneficiaries — enhanced amounts। Both names refer to the same scheme।
