Financial inclusion, low-cost benefit, and social security for the Indian citizens have been the top priority of the Modi government and the launch of various schemes like Jan Dhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima and Suraksha Yojana, Atal Pension Yojana, etc proves the same. Today in this article, we will discuss in detail about Atal Pension Yojana.

Atal Pension Yojana

Atal Pension Yojana also known as APY is a government-backed pension scheme and is administered by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).

It was launched in accordance with Jan Dhan Yojana, to bring the masses employed in the unorganized and rural sector under the purview of Pension Scheme.

This scheme aims to provide a definite pension to all Indian citizens.

However, you need to contribute accordingly, in order to get pension during your old age.

Under this scheme, for every contribution made to the pension fund, the government also contributes 50% of the total contribution or Rs 1000 p.a. (whichever is lower) to each individual account for a 5 year period.

The government has planned to expand the benefit of the scheme through Post Offices, selected Payment Banks (11  as of now)and Small Finance Banks(10 as of now) in order to bring more people under its coverage.

      Hello Srinivas,

      Thank you for your comment.

      As per the official information available: if the subscriber to the APY(Atal Pension Yojna) dies after the age of 60 years: the pension will be available to the spouse of the subscriber and upon the death of both the spouse and the subscriber:the pension corpus (in your example: Rs 2 lakhs) will be returned to the nominee.
      If the subscriber dies before attaining 60 years: the pension wealth will be returned to the spouse.In this case:there will be no gurranteed or fixed pension payout.

      Hello Sunitha,

      Thank You for your comment.

      As, per the information given in the official website of APY, depending upon the age at which you have started contributing in APY, the contribution will vary from 20 years (if you have entered APY at 40 years ) to 42 years (if you have entered APy at 18 years).
      The monthly pension under APY will start once you reach the age of 60 years.

    It is mentioned that in case of death of the subscriber happens before he attains 60 years of age pension wealth will be returned. Is the pension wealth is the return of corpus amount?
