So, what is Atal Pension Yojana?
As the name suggests, it a pension scheme. We can give you a boat-load of words to read but here is a quick summary:
- Anyone who is employed in India’s unemployed sector is not entitled for pension because employers there do not have pension schemes.
- This does not mean they cannot have a pension scheme of their own. They can buy it under APY.
- The pension scheme can be purchased by anyone in unorganized sector.
- The scheme buyer cannot stay outside the age range of 18 and 40 years (both numbers included).
- A monthly payment has to be made by the buyer till the point he or she reaches the unemployable age, which in India is considered to be 60 years.
- Once the purchaser reaches the age of 60, he or she can withdraw pension on a monthly basis depending on the amount of money he or she has been depositing.
How much pension will be paid per month?
There are 5 slabs to choose from. The minimum payout per month will be ₹ 1,000 and max payout will be ₹ 5,000 with ₹ 1K increment for each slab.
Which slab to choose?

There is also a maximum monthly deposit ceiling. The minimum cannot fall below ₹ 42 and maximum cannot shoot beyond ₹ 1,454.

Scenario 2: You are of age 40 when you purchase the APY. You want a monthly pension of ₹ 5,000. You have to pay for 20 years with a monthly contribution of ₹ 1,454.
