Farmers have to face many kinds of problems in old age. Due to the weakening of the body, they are not able to participate fully in agricultural work, that is why they have to face economic crises in old age. To overcome this economic crisis in the old age of farmers, the government has launched the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Man-Dhan Yojana. Under this scheme, a pension of 36,000 rupees per year will be given to farmers in old age.
Farmers coming between 18 and 40 years can register under this scheme. Farmers will have to pay a monthly premium of Rs 55 to 200 for a minimum of 20 years and maximum 42 years. The amount the farmers will deposit, the government will deposit the same amount in it. Finally, when the farmer crosses the age of 60, he will get a pension of Rs 36,000 annually from the government. This 36,000 rupees will be given every month in the installment of 3 thousand rupees.
How to register?
Farmers can register under this scheme by visiting their nearest Common Service Center. There is no charge for its registration. If a farmer is availing benefits under the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, then all he needs to do is to take the Aadhar card only for this scheme.
Farmers’ money will not be lost
If a farmer wants to leave the scheme in the middle, then the money deposited by him will not be lost, but the amount deposited by him will be returned along with the interest received under the savings account.
