UP government to offer 50 thousand pension to Bachchan family

The Bachchan family, Amitabh, Jaya and Abhishek, will be among the first beneficiaries of UP's newly minted pension scheme for persons awarded the Yash Bharti Samman. The UP cabinet announced that all recipients of the State's highest honour will be eligible to receive a Rs. 50,000 monthly pension for life. While the government has awarded nearly 150 persons of UP origin since the Yash Bharti award was instituted in 1994, the Bachchan family is the only one to have taken home the honours for four of its members. Amitabh Bachchan's father, noted writer Harivasnsh Rai Bachchan was also conferred the honour in the inaugural year.
