+====== NSAP pension delay (Old Age, Widow, Disability) — RTI (2026) ======
+{{ :social:auto:pension-nsap-pension-delay.png?direct&1200 }}
+<WRAP info>
+**Quick answer:** NSAP (National Social Assistance Programme): three pensions — IGNOAPS, IGNWPS, IGNDPS. Rs 200-500/month. State adds top-up. Delay > 60 days = RTI.
+</WRAP>
+===== Key facts =====
+  * IGNOAPS: Rs 200/month (60-79) / Rs 500 (80+)
+  * IGNWPS: Rs 300/month for widows
+  * IGNDPS: Rs 300 (18-79) / Rs 500 (80+) for disabled
+  * BPL applicants only
+  * State top-up varies (Rs 300-1,500)
+===== Step-by-step process =====
+  - **Apply at Block Office (BDO)** — Form + BPL ration card.
+  - **Field verification** — 15-30 days.
+  - **Pension card issued** — Aadhaar-linked bank account.
+  - **Monthly DBT** — Per scheme.
+  - **State top-up automatically added** — If applicable.
+  - **RTI to BDO for delay** — If > 60 days.
+===== Documents needed =====
+  * Aadhaar
+  * BPL ration card
+  * Bank account (Aadhaar-linked)
+  * Age proof
+  * Disability cert (IGNDPS)
+===== Common issues + how to handle =====
+  * Pension card not issued > 60 days — RTI to BDO for application status.
+  * Monthly credit missing — RTI for credit log + bank Aadhaar linkage.
+  * State top-up not added — RTI for state policy + addition.
+  * Cancellation without notice — RTI for cancellation order.
+===== If stuck — file an RTI =====
+Most "delays" or "rejections" clear within 7-15 days of an RTI being filed. Use this 5-question template:
+<code>
+. Status of my application no. _____ dated _____ as on date.
+. Name + designation of dealing officer assigned to my file.
+. Reasons for delay beyond the statutory timeline.
+. Copy of any noting / movement of my file in the past 30 days.
+. Likely date of resolution / decision.
