Mumbai has a significant and growing senior citizen population — over 15 lakh residents above 60 years in MMR. Yet this community remains underserved by digital platforms. Mumbai96 is committed to being the most comprehensive resource for senior Mumbaikars — from government schemes and legal rights to social connection and healthcare navigation.
Under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007, every district has a Maintenance Tribunal. A senior citizen can approach this tribunal directly — without a lawyer — to claim maintenance from their children. The tribunal can order maintenance of up to ₹10,000/month and must dispose of the case within 90 days. For Mumbai, approach the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) office of your area.
