Sarkari Yojana: A significant portion of the population in the country is linked to the unorganized sector. Both the central and state governments are implementing various impressive initiatives aimed at uplifting these individuals socially and economically. A few years back, the Government of India launched the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan Yojana, which is a pension program. This scheme ensures that farmers receive a minimum monthly pension of Rs 3,000 once they turn 60.
What is PM Maandhan Yojana and how it works
The Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan Yojana aims to provide financial support to the underprivileged workers in the country after they reach the age of 60. As workers age, they often face numerous financial challenges, and many find themselves without a source of income. Recognizing this issue, the Central Government introduced the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan Yojana a few years ago. Let’s explore the details of this initiative.
Under this scheme, workers are entitled to receive a monthly pension of Rs 3,000 after they turn 60. However, to benefit from this pension, workers must contribute to the scheme. Individuals aged between 18 and 40 can apply, and the amount they need to invest is determined by their age at the time of application. For instance, if a worker applies at 18, they will need to contribute Rs 55 each month.
This contribution continues until they reach 60, at which point they will start receiving the monthly pension of Rs 3,000, helping to cover their financial needs in their later years.
