Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini presented a ₹2,05,017.29-crore budget for the upcoming financial year in the Assembly on Monday.

No new taxes have been introduced in the budget, even as the government has set aside ₹5,000 crore for the ₹2,100 monthly aid scheme for women, Lado Lakshmi Yojana.

The CM announced that the State government will give the benefits of the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) to its employees on the lines of the scheme notified by the Centre on January 24, this year.

He also said that a new authority, ‘SANKALP (Substance Abuse & Narcotics Knowledge, Awareness & Liberation Program Authority)’, will be created to curb drug abuse among youth.

Per capita income

Mr. Saini said the State’s Gross Domestic Product had risen by nearly 277% over the past decade (from ₹4,37,145 crore in 2014-15 to ₹12,13,951 crore in 2024-25) while the per capita income had increased by 239% (from ₹1,47,382 to ₹3,53,182).

He added that there has been no increase in the debts incurred by government undertakings over the past 10 years. “This clearly demonstrates that the State government has effectively controlled the loans of public sector undertakings,” the CM said.

New scheme

Sharing details of the pension scheme, Mr. Saini said the State government employees will get a monthly payout of at least ₹10,000 plus and an additional 30% of the amount as a “family payout”. He added that these benefits will be provided after a minimum service of 10 years.

Retired employees will receive full benefits of the scheme after 25 years of service. The scheme will benefit nearly two lakh State government employees, he added.
