How much monthly pension is provided to eligible beneficiaries under the Leprosy Pension Scheme in Uttar Pradesh?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) None of the above
Explanation: . Under the Uttar Pradesh Leprosy Pension Scheme (Kushth Rog Pension Yojana), eligible beneficiaries receive a monthly financial assistance of  ₹ 3,000. . This scheme is operated by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Uttar Pradesh. . The pension is provided to individuals who are disabled due to leprosy and fall below the poverty line. 
Information Booster: . There is no age restriction for the scheme; any person disabled due to leprosy is eligible to apply, provided they meet income and residency criteria. . The payment is transferred directly to the beneficiary's bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to ensure transparency. . The state government has intensified efforts to reach vulnerable sections, benefiting thousands of leprosy-affected individuals. 
Additional Knowledge: ₹ 2,000 (Option a) . This amount is incorrect for the UP Leprosy Pension Scheme. The Delhi government's "Pension Scheme for Grade II Deformed Leprosy Patients" provides ₹ 2,000 per month in Tripura, not UP. . The UP old-age pension for those aged 70 and above in certain UTs is ₹2,000. 
₹ 1,500 (Option b) . This amount is incorrect for the UP scheme. The Delhi government provides ₹ 1,500 monthly for certain disabled individuals. . Certain age groups under other national pension schemes receive different amounts. 
₹ 5,000 (Option c) . This amount is significantly higher than the amount provided under this specific state-level pension scheme. It might relate to central government schemes like Atal Pension Yojana upon maturity.
