 The Karnataka state-specific pension, known as Sandhya Suraksha, is applicable from the age of 65. However, there is no restriction concerning the presence of an 18+ male member in the family. This implies that even if there is an adult male aged 18 or older in the family, the elderly individuals in the family will still be eligible to receive the pension.
