APY Offers Guaranteed Pension
Launched on May 9, 2015, the Atal Pension Yojana primarily aims to provide old-age income security to workers in the unorganised sector.
Indian citizens aged 18 to 40 years with a savings account in a bank or post office can join the scheme. Depending on their contributions, subscribers are entitled to a guaranteed monthly pension ranging from ₹1,000 to ₹5,000 after reaching 60 years of age.
Income-tax payers have been excluded from joining the scheme since October 1, 2022, as part of efforts to target the scheme towards underprivileged workers.
APY Assets Cross ₹57,000 Crore
The total Assets Under Management (AUM) under the pension scheme stood at approximately ₹57,296 crore as of June 30, 2026.
The scheme is implemented through public and private sector banks, regional rural banks, small finance banks, payment banks, cooperative banks and the Department of Posts.
