About Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana

Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY) is a pension scheme designed to provide social security and assured pension to senior citizens aged 60 years and above. Under this scheme, the government offers guaranteed monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual pension based on the investment made by the senior citizen. The scheme provides a fixed rate of return of 7.4% per annum, ensuring financial stability in old age. A senior citizen invests a lump sum amount and receives regular pension payments for life. Upon maturity or death, the principal amount is returned to the beneficiary or nominee. This scheme is particularly beneficial for those who have no other source of income in their retirement years.
