With reference to the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan (PM-SYM) Yojana, consider the following statements: 1. The entry age group for enrolment in the scheme is 21 to 40 years. 2. Age specific contribution shall be made by the beneficiary. 3. Each subscriber under the scheme shall receive a minimum pension of Rs. 3000 per month after attaining the age of 60 years. 4. Family pension is applicable to the spouse and unmarried daughters. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
1, 3 and 4
2 and 3 only
2 only
1, 2 and 4
Solution
Entry age for PM-SYM is 18-40 years (not 21-40) — Statement 1 wrong. Age-specific contribution is correct (Statement 2). Minimum assured pension of Rs. 3,000 per month after 60 is correct (Statement 3). Family pension is admissible only to the spouse (50%) — not to unmarried daughters — so Statement 4 is wrong.
