The scheme provides an assured pension based on a guaranteed rate of return of 8% per annum for ten years, with an option to opt for pension on a monthly \/ quarterly \/ half yearly and annual basis. The differential return, i.e. the difference between the return generated by LIC and the assured return of 8% per annum would be borne by Government of India as subsidy on an annual basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enables upto Rs. 10000 Pension per month for Senior Citizens Delhi, May 3 (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211;
