Stay tuned to know the eligibility criteria, how the pension scheme works, and the latest updates related to PM-Kisan benefits.
Who is Eligible for the PM Kisan Mandhan Pension Scheme?
Farmers who are registered beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana and are between 18 and 40 years old qualify automatically for the PM Kisan Mandhan pension scheme. No additional application or documents are needed for registration, as the government handles the process based on the PM Kisan database. This automatic enrollment means eligible farmers start contributing monthly amounts ranging from Rs. 55 to Rs. 200 towards their pension, deducted directly from their annual PM Kisan payment.
Benefits of Combining PM Kisan and PM Kisan Mandhan Yojana
By joining the help given under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi and pension benefits of PM Kisan Mandhan Yojana, farmers get a secure and higher income stream:
- PM Kisan provides Rs. 6,000 annually (paid as Rs. 2,000 every four months).
- After turning 60, the PM Kisan Mandhan pension pays Rs. 3,000 monthly (Rs. 36,000 annually).
Together, farmers receive up to Rs. 42,000 per year, helping them maintain a steady livelihood in old age.
How the Pension Contributions are Deducted
The monthly pension contributions are easily deducted from the Rs. 6,000 yearly assistance provided under PM Kisan. For example, if a farmer pays Rs. 200 monthly (Rs. 2,400 yearly) towards the pension, the remaining Rs. 3,600 is credited to their bank account every year. This deduction system means farmers don’t need any extra money upfront.
