What to do if anyone wants to leave the scheme in between?
A farmer's money will not be lost if he chooses to leave PM-KMY in the middle. The money that has been deposited until his departure will earn interest at the same rate as a bank savings account. If the farmer dies, his wife will be entitled to half of the funds. Farmers' pension funds will be managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
