ANSWER
(a) & (b) Sir, the Varishtha Pension Bima Yojana (VPBY), 2017, a Government supported scheme, is being implemented through LIC, to provide social security during old age and protect elderly persons aged 60 years and above. The scheme protects investors against a future fall in the interest income due to uncertain market conditions. 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.
