About 51,400 freedom fighters and their eligible dependants are drawing samman pension from the public sector banks and treasuries. The amount of samman pension admissible to freedom fighters is as under:
| S.No | Category of freedom fighters | Basic Pension (in Rs.) | Dearness Relief @ 143% w.e.f. 01.08.11 (in Rs.) | Total amount Pension (in Rs.) |

Dearness Relief has been revised w.e.f. 1st August 2011 from 123% to 143%.
