Sanjay said the State government should frame rules in such a manner that if a beneficiary dies, then the same pension must be extended to the eligible person in the family or to any other person eligible as per the age.

There are as many as 38 lakh Asara pension beneficiaries across the State and over 11 lakh persons applied for the pension. In view of the demand from new applicants, the State government must announce new guidelines, he added.
