The official PM Kisan Maandhan Yojana is a voluntary and contribution-based pension scheme designed for small and marginal farmers across India. First, eligible farmers aged between 18 and 40 years make a small monthly contribution, which is matched equally by the Central Government and managed by LIC. Consequently, enrolled beneficiaries receive a assured monthly pension of 3,000 rupees upon reaching 60 years of age, ensuring long-term financial security.
