Good news for farmers: This government scheme will provide pension of ₹36,000 every year..

If you are already registered in Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan), then now you have the opportunity to take advantage of another great scheme of the government. The government has linked the PM Kisan Mandhan Pension Scheme (PM-KMY) to PM-Kisan, which means that now you will not have to do any extra paperwork to get a pension. In this scheme, farmers will get a fixed pension of Rs 3,000 every month in old age, i.e., Rs 36,000 annually. And the most important thing is that for this, farmers will not have to pay a single penny from their pockets. The monthly contribution will be deducted directly with the help of PM-Kisan's annual Rs 6,000.

Pension will be available after the age of 60

To take advantage of the PM Kisan Mandhan Pension Scheme, the age of the farmer should be between 18 and 40 years. Just get registered in this scheme once, then after completing 60 years, a pension of ₹ 3,000 will come directly to your account every month. That is, you will get ₹36,000 in the whole year. This pension will be available for life. After registration, the government will give you a special pension ID number, which will be used to identify you later.

Registration is very easy.

To get registered, the farmer just has to go to his nearest Public Service Center (CSC). There, he will have to take an Aadhar card, a bank passbook, land-related documents, and a passport-size photo. The CSC operator fills the online form on the basis of your documents, and an auto-debit form is also filled, so that the monthly contribution is deducted directly from the bank account. If you are already a beneficiary of PM Kisan Yojana, then this contribution amount keeps getting deducted automatically with the same assistance.

Pension will be available from PM Kisan's money.

The biggest feature of this scheme is that farmers do not have to pay anything from their pockets in this pension scheme. Suppose a farmer joins this scheme at the age of 40, then he will have to deposit a maximum of ₹200 every month. That is, ₹2,400 in a year is directly deducted from the amount of PM Kisan Yojana. The remaining ₹3,600 is deposited in the farmer's account every year. In this way, the farmer can get double benefit.
