(a)  to  (c):  'Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  Maan  Dhan  Yojana  (PMKMY)',  a  central  sector scheme, is a voluntary and contributory pension scheme for the entry age group of 18 to 40 years with a provision of minimum monthly assured pension of Rs. 3000/- on attaining the age of 60 years, subject to exclusion criteria. The Scheme aims to create a  social  security  net  for  the  small  and  marginal  farmers  during  their  old  age.  The amount  of  the  monthly  contribution  ranges  between  Rs.55  to  Rs.200  per  month depending upon the entry age of the farmers into the Scheme. Govt. of India also provides  matching  contribution  in  the  pension  account  of  the  farmers.  The  Life Insurance  Corporation  (LIC)  of  India  is  the  fund  manager  for  the  Scheme.  Under PMKMY,  the  funds  are  not  allocated  State-wise  and  the  pension  is  disbursed  on attaining the age of 60 years. The Scheme was launched in FY 2019-20 and as on 25.11.2024, more than 24.66 lakh farmers have been registered under the Scheme. State-wise details are at annexure.
