60,000 rupees pension will be given annually after 60
The objective of Atal Pension Yojana is to bring every section under the ambit of pension. However, the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has recommended to the government to increase the maximum age under Atal Pension Yojana (APY). Under the scheme, after making a fixed contribution every month in the account, from Rs. 1 thousand after retirement. You will get a monthly pension of up to 5 thousand rupees. The government is guaranteeing a lifetime pension of Rs 5000 per month i.e. Rs 60,000 per annum after the age of 60 years after investing only Rs 1239 in every 6 months.
In this way you will get Rs 5000 pension every month
That is, by depositing 7 rupees every day in this scheme, you can get a pension of 5000 rupees per month. In this scheme, only Rs 42 will have to be deposited per month for a monthly pension of Rs 1000 every month. On the other hand, Rs 84 for Rs 2000 pension, Rs 126 for Rs 3000 and Rs 168 for monthly pension of Rs 4000 will have to be deposited every month.
