The Atal Pension Yojana is a National Pension Scheme (NPS) that was introduced in the Union Budget of 2015-2016. The target demographic for this pension scheme is those who employed in the unorganised sector. It is also open to employees in the private sector who do not have pension benefits. On attaining the age of 60, an individual can choose to obtain a pension of either Rs.1,000, Rs.2,000, Rs.4,000, or Rs.5,000, depending on their contribution to the scheme and the age at which they started subscribing to the scheme. The pension can also be claimed by the spouse upon death of the contributor or by the nominee upon the death of both the contributor and spouse. The collected funds of the scheme are managed by the Pension Funds Regulatory Authority of India (PFRDA).
Atal Pension Yojana Contribution Calculator
The big question when we hear about the Atal Pension Yojana Scheme is how much do I have to pay? Your contribution depends on two factors.
- The amount of pension you want to receive.
- The age at which you apply for this scheme.
If you join at the age of 18, your monthly premium will be much lesser. This is because you have to contribute towards the scheme for 42 years before you start receiving your pension. If you join at the age of 40, your premium will be significantly higher because you have only 21 years left to contribute towards the scheme. The lowest contribution for a Rs. 1,000 pension at the age of 18 is Rs. 42. The highest monthly premium of Rs. 1,454 will be incurred at the age of 40 if you opt to get the pension of Rs. 5,000.
