Atal Pension Yojana

The ‘Swavalamban’ Scheme launched in 2010-11 does talk about pension coverage but it considers this as inadequate mainly due to lack of clarity of pension benefits at the age after 60. We hope that Atal Pension Yojana will remove these difficulties. The new scheme will focus on individuals in the unorganised sector, who join the National Pension System (NPS) and who are not members of any statutory social security scheme. The scheme would be launched on June 1.


Under the scheme, the subscribers would receive the fixed pension of Rs. 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 or 5,000 at the age of 60 years, depending on their contributions. The contributions would vary on the age of joining the scheme. The minimum age of joining APY is 18 years and maximum age is 40 years. Therefore, minimum period of contribution by the subscriber under APY would be 20 years or more.

The benefit of fixed pension would be guaranteed by the Government. The Central Government will also co-contribute 50% of the subscriber's contribution or Rs. 1,000 per annum, whichever is lower, to each eligible subscriber account, for a period of 5 years, that is, from 2015-16 to 2019-20, who join the NPS before December 31 this year and who are not income-tax payers. The existing subscribers of Swavalamban Scheme would be automatically migrated to new scheme, unless they opt out.
