Atal Pension Yojana Surpasses 8 Crore Enrolments
Imagine a special savings plan called the Atal Pension Yojana, or APY.
It's like a promise from the government to help people save for their retirement.
If you join, you put in a little money each month, and when you turn 60, you get a guaranteed monthly pension.
The amount depends on how much you put in.
After the subscriber dies, the spouse gets the same pension and after the spouse also dies the money goes to their family.
APY is celebrating its 10th birthday and has helped over 8 crore people start saving!
Atal Pension Yojana (APY) has surpassed 8 crore total gross enrolments.
The scheme added 39 lakh new subscribers in the current Financial Year (FY 2025-26).
APY was launched on May 9, 2015, and is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
It provides a guaranteed monthly pension of ₹1,000 to ₹5,000 after age 60.
The scheme is open to Indian citizens aged 18-40 years who are not income tax payers.
