Kisan mandhan yojna: The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Manadhan Yojana is an important social security initiative of the Government of India, which was launched on 12 September 2019. Its purpose is to provide economic support to small and marginal farmers in old age. Farmers themselves contribute to this scheme and the government gives this amount as matching payment. In this way, when the age of 60 years is completed, they are given a pension of Rs 3,000 per month, which brings financial stability in their old age lifestyle.
These people will be eligible, will get Rs 3000 every month
Farmers between 18 and 40 years of age can join the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Manadhan Yojana. Their land should not be more than 2 hectares. The farmers can avail the benefit of this scheme who are not income tax payers and are not connected to any other government pension scheme like EPF, NPS or ESIC. In this scheme, the farmer has to contribute from Rs 55 to Rs 200 every month. This contribution is decided on the basis of the age of the farmer.
For example, if a farmer joins the plan at the age of 18, then he will have to deposit Rs 55 per month. On the other hand, if someone joins the scheme in 40 years, then he will have to pay 200 rupees every month. When the farmer turns 60, he will start getting a pension of Rs 3,000 every month.
