Truth on "Pension" Given to Savarkar
Although it was clarified it many times but there is need to spread this to many people. There is no official document calling it pension. It was surveillance allowance given to many political prisoners . Savarkar too received this allowance for a specific time period.
It was british policy to give allowance to political prisoners.
Savarkar was under surveillance from 1924 - 1937 so in 1929 to meet his expenses he applied for allowance that he received till 1937. Note : Only 60Rs/month given to him

Gandhi got allowance of 100Rs/month during his arrest in 1930.
While the allowance to Mahatma Gandhi increased from Rs 100 in 1930 to Rs 450 in 1943-44 and then to Rs 550
