Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan (PM-SYM)

Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan (PM-SYM) is a Social Security and pension scheme launched by the Government of India for unorganized sector workers. It was introduced to provide financial security to workers in the unorganized sector who typically do not have access to formal pension schemes or social security benefits.

Here are some key features of PM-SYM:

  1. Eligibility: To be eligible for PM-SYM, a person must be an unorganized sector worker in the age group of 18 to 40 years and should not be covered under any other statutory social security scheme.
  2. Contribution: The eligible beneficiaries are required to make a monthly contribution towards the scheme. The amount of contribution depends on the age of entry into the scheme and ranges from Rs. 55 to Rs. 200 per month.
  3. Matching Contribution: The central government also contributes an equal amount to the beneficiary's contribution. This government contribution helps in building up the pension corpus.
  4. Pension Amount: After attaining the age of 60, the beneficiary is entitled to receive a minimum assured monthly pension of Rs. 3000/- per month. The amount of the pension would depends on the total contribution made and the age of entry into the scheme.
  5. Nominee: Beneficiaries can nominate a family member who will receive the accumulated pension amount in case of the beneficiary's untimely demise.
  6. Exit: In the event of the beneficiary's death before the age of 60, the accumulated contribution along with the government's share is returned to the nominee.
  7. Enrollment: To enroll in PM-SYM, individuals can visit Common Service Centres (CSCs) or get in touch with the authorized enrollment agencies. They need to provide valid KYC documents, a savings bank account, and Aadhaar details.
  8. Implementation: The scheme is implemented by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India.

PM-SYM aims to provide financial stability and a source of income to unorganized sector workers during their old age. It is a step towards addressing the social security needs of this vulnerable segment of the workforce in India. However, it's essential to check for the most up-to-date information regarding the scheme, including any changes or updates that may have occurred since my knowledge cutoff date in September 2021.
