+A street vendor or a tailor earning Rs 12,000 a month can lock in an assured Rs 3,000 monthly pension for life after age 60 by paying as little as Rs 55 a month, because the Central Government matches every rupee you put in. That is the promise of Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan (PM-SYM), and this guide shows exactly who qualifies and how to enrol.
+<WRAP info>
+PM-SYM is a voluntary pension scheme for unorganised workers aged 18 to 40 earning up to Rs 15,000 a month. You pay Rs 55 to Rs 200 monthly by entry age, the government pays an equal matching amount, and you receive an assured Rs 3,000 pension every month after turning 60. Enrol free at any CSC with Aadhaar and a bank account.
+</WRAP>
+===== What PM-SYM is =====
+PM-SYM is a Central Government pension scheme launched in 2019 by the Ministry of Labour and Employment for unorganised workers such as street vendors, rickshaw pullers, domestic helpers, agricultural labourers and home-based workers. It is voluntary and contributory: workers contribute monthly, the government matches it 50:50, and LIC manages the pension fund.
+===== Eligibility and scheme basis =====
+PM-SYM is administered by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, with LIC as the pension fund manager and CSC e-Governance Services India Limited as the enrolment agency. To join, you must meet every condition below:
+  * **Age:** Between 18 and 40 years on the date of joining.
+  * **Income:** Monthly income of Rs 15,000 or below.
+  * **Worker type:** An unorganised-sector worker, whether home-based, self-employed or wage worker.
+  * **Not covered elsewhere:** You must **not** be a member of EPFO, ESIC or the National Pension System (NPS).
+  * **Not a taxpayer:** You must **not** be an income-tax payer.
+  * **Documents:** A valid Aadhaar number and a savings or Jan-Dhan bank account with IFSC.
+If you are already enrolled in EPFO, ESIC or NPS, you are not eligible for PM-SYM and any contribution you make will not earn the government match. The same RTI tools that help citizens question delays in any government scheme can help you here too: use the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html|AI RTI Drafter]] if your enrolment status is unclear.
+===== Contribution by entry age =====
+Your monthly contribution is fixed by the age at which you join, and stays the same until you turn 60. The Central Government pays an equal matching amount every month. These representative rows are from the official chart published on maandhan.in:
+^ Entry age (years) ^ Your monthly contribution ^ Government matching share ^
+| 18 | Rs 55 | Rs 55 |
+| 20 | Rs 61 | Rs 61 |
+| 25 | Rs 80 | Rs 80 |
+| 29 | Rs 100 | Rs 100 |
+| 30 | Rs 105 | Rs 105 |
+| 35 | Rs 150 | Rs 150 |
+| 40 | Rs 200 | Rs 200 |
+The younger you join, the smaller your monthly contribution, because you pay for more years. The assured pension stays Rs 3,000 a month regardless of entry age.
+===== Step-by-step: how to enrol =====
+  - Carry your Aadhaar card and savings or Jan-Dhan bank account passbook to your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC).
+  - Tell the Village Level Entrepreneur (VLE) you want to enrol in PM Shram Yogi Maan-dhan.
+  - The VLE enters your Aadhaar, name, bank account and IFSC into the portal; the system auto-calculates your monthly contribution from your age.
+  - Pay the first month contribution in cash to the VLE.
+  - Sign the enrolment-cum-auto-debit mandate so future contributions are auto-debited from your bank account.
+  - Collect your Shram Yogi Pension Account Number (SPAN) and the printed PM-SYM card as proof of enrolment.
+You can also self-enrol online at maandhan.in and complete the bank auto-debit mandate yourself.
+===== Documents required =====
+  * Aadhaar card, mandatory for enrolment.
+  * Savings bank account or Jan-Dhan account number with IFSC code.
+  * Active mobile number for OTP and updates.
+  * First month contribution in cash at the CSC.
+===== Common mistakes to avoid =====
+  * **Letting the auto-debit lapse:** If your bank balance is too low and the monthly debit fails, your account can default. Keep at least the contribution amount in the account every month so the pension does not lapse.
+  * **Applying while an EPFO, ESIC or NPS member:** Members of these schemes are not eligible. Enrolling anyway wastes money because the government match will not apply.
+  * **Crossing the income limit silently:** If your monthly income rises above Rs 15,000 or you start paying income tax, you no longer meet eligibility; declare it instead of risking a disputed exit later.
+  * **Wrong bank or IFSC details:** A mismatched account stops auto-debit. Double-check the account and IFSC at enrolment.
+  * **Assuming the pension changes with entry age:** The pension is a flat Rs 3,000 a month; only your contribution changes with age.

+**Real-life example: Kashvi Pathak, tailor, Gorakhpur district, Uttar Pradesh.** Kashvi, aged 29, runs a small tailoring stall and earns about Rs 11,000 a month. She is not in EPFO, ESIC or NPS and does not pay income tax. On 14 February 2026 she walked into her local CSC with her Aadhaar and Jan-Dhan passbook. Because she joined at 29, her monthly contribution was fixed at **Rs 100**, with the Central Government adding a matching **Rs 100**, so Rs 200 a month flows into her pension fund. She paid the first Rs 100 in cash, signed the auto-debit mandate, and received her SPAN card the same day. From the month she turns 60, Kashvi will draw an assured **Rs 3,000 pension every month** for life. If she dies after the pension starts, her spouse will receive 50 percent, that is Rs 1,500 a month, as family pension.
