Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY) is another shot at pension for senior citizens, here is a rundown on it
At a time when interest rates on small savings schemes are falling, the recently launched Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY), a pension scheme launched by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), comes as another option for senior citizens looking for a regular pension income.
