APY Scheme Details


Atal Pension Yojana (APY) is a pension scheme launched by the government of India for the benefit of individuals, especially those working in the unorganised sector. The scheme was launched in 2015 and replaced the previously launched government scheme, Swavalamban Yojana. The underlining objective of this scheme is to provide social and financial security to people in their old age by enabling them to make regular savings during their productive years. APY aims at providing minimum guaranteed monthly pension after the age of 60 years in different slabs viz. Rs. 1,000, Rs. 2,000, Rs. 3,000, Rs. 4,000 and Rs. 5,000. Apart from workers in the unorganised sector for which the scheme is highly beneficial, employees from the private sector can also apply for APY to avail its numerous advantages. The pension amount will be fixed depending on the age of the subscriber and the contribution made by him or her.

A subscriber’s spouse is entitled to claim the pension amount under the Atal Pension Yojana upon his or her death. The spouse have two options before them if a subscriber dies before completing the age of 60 years - to exit the scheme and claim the entire pension amount or continue with the scheme for the remaining period. In case of death of both the subscriber and the spouse, the accumulated pension amount can be claimed by the nominee. In accordance with the investment pattern set by the government, the collected amount under APY is managed by the Pensions Funds Regulatory Authority of India (PFRDA). The central government also co-contributes 50% of the total contribution or Rs. 1,000 per annum, whichever is lower, to each eligible subscriber who joined the scheme between before 31st December 2015, for financial year 2015-16 to 2019-20. This is applicable if subscribers are not income tax payers or part of any other social security scheme.
