The Jharkhand cabinet led by Chief Minister Hemant Soren approved the inclusion of the transgender community in the state's universal pension scheme.
Transgender persons will now be eligible to receive monthly financial assistance of Rs 1000 under the 'Chief Minister's State Social Security Pension Scheme'.
Eligibility for this scheme is determined on the basis of age, persons of 18 years and above who have voter ID cards are eligible.
The objective of this decision is to ensure that transgender persons can avail the benefits of reservation in government job opportunities.
Notably, transgender persons who do not fall under any of the existing caste-based reservation categories will be classified as OBCs at position number 46 in the OBC list.
