There are some pension schemes run by the central government, one of which is Atal Pension Yojana. This scheme is run by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). Those who want a fixed amount every month after retirement can deposit a fixed amount every month in Atal Pension Yojana (APY). Actually it was started for the people of the unorganized sector so that financial benefits can be given in the form of social security. Later its scope increased and today there are people taking this scheme in almost every sector.
In the current financial year, 28 lakh people are associated with Atal Pension Yojana. If we see from the beginning, since the beginning of this scheme, till August 25, 3.30 crore people are taking advantage of this scheme. This scheme was started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 9 May 2015. This scheme was specially designed keeping in mind the people who work in the unorganized sector. This scheme was started for the people who do not get the benefit of any social security scheme.
Who can open Atal Pension Scheme
Any person who has a savings account in any bank or post office can join the Atal Pension Scheme. To join this scheme, the minimum age should be 18 years and maximum age should be 40 years. This is a guaranteed pension scheme run by the government, under which the depositor gets a pension of 1,000 to 5,000 rupees. How much money will be received in the pension, it depends on the money deposited in the scheme. When the person reaches 60 years of age, then he starts getting this amount in the form of pension.
The minimum age to join the pension scheme has been kept at 18 years so that people start depositing money at an early age. This will increase the period of depositing money in APY. So will be entitled for more pension. If the account holder takes this scheme at an older age, then he will have to deposit more money. This means that if you want to take more benefit of Atal Pension Scheme, then you should deposit money from 18 years. The maximum age limit has also been kept at 40 years. People above 40 years of age cannot take advantage of this scheme.
