Atal Pension Yojana Details:
The Atal Pension Yojana (APY) scheme, got launched on May 9, 2015, by PM Narendra Modi at Kolkata. The aim of the scheme is to addresses the old age income security of the working poor and is focused on encouraging and enabling them to join the National Pension System (NPS).
PM Narendra Modi, along with Atal Pension Yojana (APY), he will launched two insurance schemes – Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana.
To address the longevity risks among the workers in unorganised sector and to encourage the workers in unorganised sector to voluntarily save for their retirement, who constitute 88% of the total labour force of 47.29 crore as per the 66th Round of NSSO Survey of 2011-12, but do not have any formal pension provision, the Government had started the Swavalamban Scheme in 2010-11. However, coverage under Swavalamban Scheme is inadequate mainly due to lack of guaranteed pension benefits at the age of 60.
The Government announced the introduction of universal social security schemes in the Insurance and Pension sectors for all Indians, specially the poor and the under-privileged, in the Budget for the year 2015-16. Therefore, it has been announced that the Government will launch the Atal Pension Yojana (APY), which will provide a defined pension, depending on the contribution, and its period. The APY will be focussed on all citizens in the unorganised sector, who join the National Pension System (NPS) administered by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). Under the APY, the subscribers would receive the fixed minimum pension of Rs. 1000 per month, Rs. 2000 per month, Rs. 3000 per month, Rs. 4000 per month, Rs. 5000 per month, at the age of 60 years, depending on their contributions, which itself would be based on the age of joining the APY. The minimum age of joining APY is 18 years and maximum age is 40 years. Therefore, minimum period of contribution by any subscriber under APY would be 20 years or more. The benefit of fixed minimum pension would be guaranteed by the Government. The APY would be introduced from 1st June, 2015.

I have Voter Id, But my Adhar Card have not come yet.. Valid licence & Electricity bill in my mane..Moreover i have an savings account in SBI Siriti-Muchipara Branch.
Every time I went to the bank for joining APY, the bank manager turned me down by saying “without ADHAR card,you cant do it”. Moreover the service manager said that their branch will not do any APY scheme.

What happen, if some mis-happening occurs to me after contributing few years say 5 years, will my nominee will have to continue this further for any benefit
And what happen in case If I pass away after getting pension for few time i.e. suppose at age of 60 years and 4 months, i pass away, what will happen then???
If I opt for Rs 5000 per month pension plan, after attaining age 60, i will start getting 5000 per month, but I want to ask, till what time will i continue to get this amount, i.e. for how many months will i get this amount, till I am alive or what?

I am a beneficiary 0f employees provident fund but not a tax payer. If I join Atal pension Yojana ,As per govt order I will not get any govt contribution in my APY. Now my question is that is there any difference in monthly contribution or same as others(those who are not covered under any social securty scheme) . kindly intimate and oblige, thanks
I don’t think beneficiary of employees provident fund can apply for Atal Pension Yojana.
AS per the information from pfrda- even if you are an Income tax payer and have PF A/c and also joined the other TWO PM Schemes i.e PMJJBY &PMSBY still one can join APY. The only issue is you will not get the contribution from Govt.side. This is confirmed on toll free No.1800-110-708. You may also talk to them and get first hand information.
You are right on that account. No contribution from Govt.side, if they are connected with other scheme.
