Understanding Atal Pension Yojana:

The scheme delivers old-age pensions to the hitherto uncovered employees in India’s vast unorganized sector. However, from June 2015 onwards, nearly 88% of the 47.29 Cr among the large labor force are eligible to subscribe to the scheme.  Accordingly, you can opt to subscribe to a fixed pension of Rs.1000, Rs. 2000, Rs.3000, Rs.4000, and Rs.5000 against a monthly contribution through a bank account. In addition, the government of India contributes a share of the corpus for the benefit of the subscribers. 

Atal Pension Yojana – Premium Chart:

The tables below indicate the monthly premium you need to contribute to earning the target pension upon exit. The monthly premium depends on the entry age and the target pension, factoring in the number of years you can contribute. Most importantly, note that the subscriber and spouse earn the monthly pension income, while the nominee receives the accumulated corpus in their absence.

If eligible, all existing Swavabalamban subscribers can migrate to the APY by default. However, they have an option for opting out. So, check out the following rules. 

  • Since the government’s contribution to APY continues for 5-years, migrant subscribers will enjoy the facility for the residual period only. For example, if the benefit received is 1-year earlier, the APY benefit continues for another 4-years. 

  • However, Swavabalamban migrants opting out will receive the benefit until 2016-17.

Atal Pension Yojana – Penalty for Default:

The default contribution under the APY for individual subscribers is monthly. However, banks collect an additional amount if the account holder fails to maintain a sufficient balance for the auto-debit. The additional amount recovered on account of default varies from Rs.1 to Rs. 10 per the grid below.

Contribution Amount (Rs) per Month  Penalty (Rs) per Month
Up to 100 1
101 to 500 2
501 to 1000 5
