Entry age between 18 and 40 years. So statement 1 is incorrect. Subscriber needs to contribute in the range of Rs. 55 – Rs. 200, depending on the entry age specific monthly contribution. So statement 2 is correct. Each subscriber under the PM-SYM, shall receive minimum assured pension of Rs 3000/- per month after attaining the age of 60 years. So statement 3 is correct. During the receipt of pension, if the subscriber dies, the spouse of the beneficiary shall be entitled to receive 50% of the pension received by the beneficiary as family pension. Family pension is applicable only to spouse. So statement 4 is incorrect. https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/counting-rural-womens-labour/
