Pension to the Beneficiary Building Worker Who Has Completed 60 Years

Pension to the Beneficiary Building Worker Who Has Completed 60 Years gives a monthly pension to registered construction workers in Manipur who have served as beneficiaries for at least 5 years and completed 60 years of age. Workers who spent their working years in the construction sector receive regular cash support after crossing retirement age.

The scheme comes from the Manipur Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board under the Labour and Employment Department. For 2026-27, eligible registered workers can apply through the board office and also get other welfare benefits such as accident support, education help for children, housing loans and medical care.

The pension starts at ₹500 per month. For every completed year of service beyond the required 5 years, the amount increases by ₹10. A worker with 8 years of registered service receives ₹530, and those with more service get a higher pension.

The pension becomes payable from the first day of the month after the worker completes 60 years. The board can revise the amount from time to time on the recommendation of the Manipur State Building and Other Construction Workers Advisory Committee.

Pension to the Beneficiary Building Worker Who Has Completed 60 Years - Introduction

Benefits

Registered building workers receive a fixed monthly pension once they turn 60. The amount is not the same for everyone, because extra years of service add to the base figure.

• Base pension of ₹500 per month for workers who complete the minimum 5 years of registered service.
• An extra ₹10 for every completed year of service beyond the first 5 years, so longer service means a bigger pension.
• Payment starts from the month after the worker completes 60 years and continues as regular monthly income.

Eligibility

Workers should check the conditions fixed by the Manipur Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board before applying. All three conditions below must be met for the pension.

1. Worker must be registered as a beneficiary with the Manipur BOCW Welfare Board under section 12 of the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996.
2. Worker must have worked as a building worker for at least 5 years after registration.
3. Worker must have completed 60 years of age to start receiving the pension.
