New Delhi: Laborers will now be eligible for a pension from the central government. The Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Mandhan Yojana (PM Shram Yogi Mandhan Yojana) is a fantastic scheme for unorganised sector workers. Street sellers, rickshaw drivers, construction workers, and others in the unorganised sector will be helped to plan for their retirement. Under this scheme, the government guarantees the labourers a pension. You can obtain a pension of Rs 36,000 per year by saving just Rs 2 per day in this scheme.
Rs 55 have to be deposited per month
You must make a monthly deposit of Rs 55 to begin this scheme. For example, if you start saving around Rs 2 per day at the age of 18, you can retire at the age of 18 with a pension of Rs 36,000 per year. If a person begins this scheme at the age of 40, he will be required to make monthly deposits of Rs 200. After 60 years of age, you will be eligible for a pension. After 60 years, you would receive a monthly pension of Rs 3000 or Rs 36,000 per year.
