Reality of so called Pension given to Savarkar

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 .

This includes Abdul Ghaffar Khan, 
Vallabhbhai Jhaverbhai Patel and many more. 
 
Many Bengal - punjab revolutionaries got allowances.

The claim that "Life of barrister Savarkar" was written by Savarkar came from second Publisher of the book Ravindra Vaman Ramdas in 1986. While no reference was provided by him to support his claim. Link of 2nd Edition: https://archive.org/details/life_of_barrister_savarkar_by_chitragupta While when we revert back to its 1st edition published by G. Paul & co publication published in dec 1926. There is no such claim. Link of 1st edition
