Pension Benefit for the Construction Workers

Pension Benefit for the Construction Workers is a running scheme by the Delhi Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, Labour Department, that pays a monthly pension of ₹3000 to registered construction workers once they complete 60 years of age. The scheme remains active in 2026, and workers who were registered on the old e-district portal need to migrate to the new DBoCWWB website to continue receiving benefits.

Pension Benefit for the Construction Workers

Registered construction workers in Delhi get ₹3000 per month as a pension after turning 60. For members who have worked more than 5 years, an extra ₹300 per month is added for each additional completed year of membership. The Delhi High Court has also upheld the right of construction workers to get pension benefits, asking the Board to process applications without rejecting them over small paperwork issues.

Benefits

Under Pension Benefit for the Construction Workers, eligible registered workers receive the following support:

• Monthly pension of ₹3000 after completion of 60 years of age under Rule 273.
• An additional ₹300 per month for every completed year of membership beyond the first 5 years.

Eligibility

To join and later claim the pension, a worker must meet these conditions:

• Be a resident of Delhi.
• Be actively working or have worked as a building or construction worker.
• Be between 18 and 60 years of age at the time of registration.
• Have worked for the Board for at least 90 days in the preceding year.
• Have served the Board for not less than 1 year before claiming pension at age 60.
