Importance of retirement plan  

People who are not able to invest in the retirement plan will realize when they will reach retirement age. Most people don't take it seriously, their whole life they have been working hard for the family. As per their love and attention towards the children and wife, your earnings are sufficient to manage your family and feel happy with them from 30 to 40 years old.

They will not even think about old age, they use to say that retirement time will never come for them which will separate them from their children, or they may not be giving you such importance in old age when you have no income or retirement plan for your survival.

My words may distract your mind or may irritate you sometimes, but it's the fact that if your earnings will be retained in your old age, you will be respected by your family till the end of life, if not, you will be ignored at old age when you would be needed special care.

You need to invest for your own, not for the children, your investment for the development of children and education is another type of investment, such as LIC policy or fixed deposits that all will be withdrawn as per the immediate needs, such as education and marriage of children, but the investment for the pension plan cannot be withdrawn. That will give you a respectful life in your old age.

How to Plan for the retirement life

If you are working with a government organization, and they have a pension plan that is good for you, if not then you need to think about the retirement age. If you are working in a private organization, a small amount is deducted from the salary and deposited as EPF. The pension will be hardly 7500/- after working for more than 30 years in any organization where your PF has been deducted.

But then that is not sufficient in old age, therefore you need to invest in a pension plan at your young age. These plans are available at a bank or LIC pension plan, and many private organizations, which deal in insurance, will give you the best amount at retirement age.     

Common Pension plans

Many organizations provide pension plans to the investor, the plans of investment, are recurring deposit pension plans, or fixed deposit pensions, for a minimum of ten years to 30 years, recurring deposit plans are for the long term which is deducted from the salary, the fixed deposit pension plan is for short term for 10 to 15 years, it depends on the amount of investment and for several years. Long-term pension plans are more beneficial for the investor for the pension.

There are many investment plans, that could be obtained such as the LIC pension plan, HDFC PPF plan, ICICI Prudential retirement plan for a lifetime pension, SBI life Unit plus II pension benefits, and Life of martial emperor retirement. MAX life smart invest pension plan, and Exide life best years retirement plan.

The right age to invest in a pension plan

The right time for plantings for a pension plan needs to be known at the age of 30 to 40 years. This is the best age for a retirement plan. If you are planning after 50 years and you will not be able to deposit a sufficient amount that can give you the best return in your old age.

You have to plan before 40 years or even at 40 years you are planning for the investment for PPF and pension plan at least for 20 years then a minimum of 10,000/-  to 20,000/- can be received as pension after retirement. That depends on your amount of investment. They have different plans, and as per their pension scheme, you need to invest accordingly.

There are lots of people you will have seen surviving on their pension, even if they were not able to invest at the time of investing for a better plan when they reached retirement age they do have not such respect in life. Children may be separated from their families. And they start earning even at the age of sixty or seventy years people are seen earning through hard work.

Answers for the life certificate issues

Most of the questions are regarding life certificate issues, and that needs to be described first, as per the law of the Govt. A life certificate is proof that is needed by the Government offices in November every year, if you are not able to submit it in time, your pension may be stopped or delayed for late submission of the life certificate, which creates suspense for the official.

If the pension is transferred by mistake after the death of the pensioner, it's difficult to recover. And if the pensioner is dead, that information is required to be intimated to the pension office in time so that the pension could be transferred to the concerned dependents.

In the case of the pensioner having two wives, the amount will be divided equally, and in the case of the second wife being divorced still, the pension will be divided equally.

For the state government and central government issues, they have a pension office, where the pensioner needs to get all information about rules and regulations, regarding pension plans. Such as increments and arrears, the central government used to announce throw circulars in different online portals of the Government’s different departments.

Indian military forces have its portal which has been notified through online circulations. If any state government has no online portal, then you need to visit pension offices to know the rules of pension. 

The rules of the private organizations

In private organizations there is not any portal for pension issues, the PF office will provide pensions through the bank, or post office, and all the issues can be confirmed from the bank where your pension transfers.

The issue of the pension will be settled in the PF office only, if the pension is transferred to your account then you need to consult the concerned bank. They will further guide you if there are any issues regarding pension.

Before transferring a pension to your account you need to verify many things with the Employees provident fund office. Verification regarding KYC, mobile number, address, accounts number, pan number, Aadhar number, dependents' family record, etc. For more information, many check the pension plan of EPFO, and many guidelines for helping are available on YouTube.
