🎯 What is Old Age Allowance?

Old Age Allowance (OAA) is an additional pension granted to retired government employees after attaining specific age milestones. As pensioners grow older, they are eligible for an increasing percentage of their basic pension as OAA, recognizing their advanced age and increasing needs.

As per Punjab Government rules, the following additional pension (OAA) rates are applicable based on age:

Age of Pensioner	Additional Pension (OAA)
65 years & above	5% of Basic Pension
70 years & above	10% of Basic Pension

Basic Pension (₹): Date of Birth: Old Age Alowance as On Date: (optional)

⚙️ How It Works

The calculator determines your age as on the first day of the current month (or chosen “As On” date), as per pension rules. Based on this age, it applies the corresponding OAA percentage to your basic pension.

For example:

If your age is 80 years, and your basic pension is ₹30,000:
- OAA = 25% of ₹30,000 = ₹7,500
- Total Pension = ₹30,000 + ₹7,500 = ₹37,500 + DA

📌 Key Points to Remember

The OAA is in addition to your basic pension.
DA is applicable on the full amount, including OAA.
If you cross a qualifying age mid-month, the increased OAA is applicable from the 1st of the month.
You must enter correct Date of Birth to get accurate results.
