Pension Benefit (TBOCWW)

Pension Benefit (TBOCWW) is a social welfare scheme managed by the Tripura Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board. Made for registered construction workers who have reached the age of 60, this scheme gives steady monthly financial support so retirees can keep their dignity and livelihood. The Labour Department of Tripura keeps this scheme open, and in 2026 the board moved its services onto a new digital portal under the Nirman Shramik Kalyan Prakalp.

Pension Benefit (TBOCWW) - Introduction

Pension Benefit (TBOCWW) works as a key support for retired construction labourers. Launched by the Labour Department, this scheme gives financial security to people who have spent years building the state's infrastructure. Once a worker turns 60, they become eligible for support that eases the move into retirement. Applications can now be filed online through the new official portal, which the board launched in March 2026 to make registration and benefit access faster and clearer for workers.

Key Information

Benefits

As a beneficiary, a registered worker receives a steady pension of ₹1,000 per month. This cash benefit stays active and is paid out regularly until the passing of the pensioner, so the support lasts for life. The board has also been distributing funds for other welfare schemes such as education support, marriage assistance, maternity benefits and medical treatment, all through the same worker welfare system.

Eligibility

To qualify for this support, a worker should meet the following conditions:

• Must be a registered member of the Tripura Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board.
• Should have actively worked as a building labourer for a minimum period of 5 years.
• Must have attained the age of 60 years or more.

The new digital portal makes it easier to apply. Here are the steps to complete the online application through a Common Service Center (CSC) or the official portal:
