A Government-Supported Solution with Practical Benefits

The scheme has been designed with a single purpose so that laborers in unorganized sectors do not spend their old age in economic insecurity. And it’s succeeding just so.
Under the scheme, all of you can receive a monthly pension between Rs 1,000 and Rs 5,000 after the age of 60. And this is where it becomes even more exciting if both husbands and wives open their own accounts under APY and opt for the highest payout, each of you receives Rs 5,000 each month, that’s Rs 10,000 each month for your entire lifetime.
Who Can Join and How Much You Pay
To join, your age must be between 18 and 40. The sooner you join, the smaller your contribution monthly. That’s the trick: join young, pay less, and live off it later.

At the higher end, a person joining at the age of 35 will have to contribute around Rs 902 per month for the same advantage.
