There are several options like post office monthly income scheme, systematic withdrawal plans and monthly income plans from mutual funds. Moreover, as a part of the government’s plan to provide pension benefits, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India has launched Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY).
