Varishtha Pension Bima Yojana 2017 with 8% Guaranteed Pension for Senior Citizens

In the times when, deposit rates are on declining trend, Government of India has approved Varishtha Pension Bima Yojana which will provide 8% Guaranteed Return for 10 Years to senior citizens. This plan will be implemented through Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India to provide financial security to senior aged 60 and above. The current market rates for senior citizen is around 7.5% for 5-7 Year deposit and banks are expecting rate cut in future, so this scheme will definitely help senior citizens to secure a fixed guaranteed income.

Why this Scheme is important:

  • It will provide financial security to elderly against future fall of interest rates.
  • The Pension will be guaranteed at 8% rate of return for 10 years.
  • Pension can be availed Monthly, Quarterly, Half Yearly and Yearly Modes.
  • The plan will be guaranteed by Government of India and difference amount between return generated by LIC of India and Assured Return will paid be Government of India in the form of subsidy.

This plan has been launched as Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (LIC Plan No: 842).

These type of schemes should be for all citizens and taxes and 80 c provisions should be benefited by all Indian citizens as a gift before 2024.This will boost incoming funds for Govt.of India, which will result in financial independence and floating money will come in treasury, which can be ultimately used in share market and liquid funds & government bonds to earn more .

For pension planning, it is advisable to plan for generating a lump-sum amount in the year of expected retirement and for the same, you can divide your investment in to long term SIP, PPF and LIC Jeevan Labh (836) for 21(16) year.
