There are many questions in the mind of people about this scheme, one of which is that how old are the people eligible for investment in this scheme? Only such people, whose age will be between 18 and 40 years, are eligible for the scheme. Those whose age will be less than 18 years or more than 40 years, they cannot be associated with this scheme. However, to get a pension, it is necessary to invest for at least 20 years.

In this, at the age of 60, there is a provision for monthly pension up to 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 and 5000 rupees. The biggest feature of this scheme is that after the death of the pensioner, his wife or husband continues to get benefits.

For investment, you must have a savings account in a bank or post office. If you are applying for this scheme then it is better to waste time and energy before you open a savings account in your name
