Atal Pension Yojana Benefits
The Atal Pension Yojana (APY) Scheme got the approval from the Government of India.
Atal Pension Yojana (APY) fixed pension for the subscribers ranging between Rs. 1000 to Rs. 5000, if he joins and contributes between the age of 18 years and 40 years. The contribution levels would vary and would be low if subscriber joins early and increase if he joins late.
Eligibility for Atal Pension Yojana (APY):
Atal Pension Yojana (APY) is open to all bank account holders. The Central Government would also co-contribute 50% of the total contribution or Rs. 1000 per annum, whichever is lower, to each eligible subscriber account, for a period of 5 years, i.e., from Financial Year 2015-16 to 2019-20, who join the NPS between the period 1 st June, 2015 and 31st December, 2015 and who are not members of any statutory social security scheme and who are not income tax payers. However, the scheme will continue after this date but Government Co-contribution will not be available.
The Government co-contribution is payable to eligible PRANs by PFRDA after receiving the confirmation from Central Record Keeping Agency at such periodicity as may be decided by PFRDA.
Age of joining and contribution period: The minimum age of joining APY is 18 years and maximum age is 40 years. The age of exit and start of pension would be 60 years. Therefore, the minimum period of contribution by the subscriber under APY would be 20 years or more.
When I registered with APY then I was unemployed but after 2 years later I got govt. Service. Shall I continued the scheme or I am disqualified for the further contributions?
suppose If husband and wife joined in the APY both of them,once they both start getting pension and one of them died, would the spouse get the half pension also(own pension and died spouse’s pension together)..?
For the 5000 rupees plan,app couple can nominate the same nominee for both their contribution after the expire, how much would be that
