Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 and 3 only
Entry to PM-SYM is open to unorganised‐sector workers aged 18–40 years, not 21–40; hence Statement 1 is incorrect. Contributions are linked to the entrant’s age (Statement 2 correct). Every subscriber gets a minimum assured pension of ₹3,000 per month after 60 years (Statement 3 correct). Family pension of 50 % is payable only to the spouse, not to unmarried daughters (Statement 4 incorrect). Therefore only Statements 2 and 3 are correct.
