Under the scheme, the subscriber will receive a minimum assured pension of ₹3,000 (US$38) per month [4] after attaining the age of 60 years. However, to benefit from the scheme, workers have to contribute ₹55 monthly (for age 18) and it varies according to age. Maximum contribution for a year cannot exceed ₹2400 (Rs.200 per month). Further, if the subscriber dies, the spouse of the beneficiary shall be entitled to receive 50% of the pension as family pension. Family pension is applicable only to spouse.

Further, the spouse has the option to continue the scheme and to contribute on the subscriber's behalf.
