Continuation of Pension (K.B.O.C.W.W.B) offers a monthly pension of ₹2,000 to registered construction workers in Karnataka through the Karnataka Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (KBOCWWB). This welfare scheme is meant for workers who have paid their subscription for at least three continuous years and reach the age of 60, giving them a steady income in their later years.
Karnataka government runs this scheme under the Labour Department to support building and construction workers who have spent years building the state's infrastructure. The board has also planned a statewide registration drive beginning in August 2026 to bring more workers under its welfare cover, with students and interns helping labourers complete registration and get identity cards.
