What is Atal Pension Yojana?

Launched by the central government in 2015, the Atal Pension Yojana aims to provide financial security to individuals working in the unorganized sector after retirement. This scheme is designed for low-income individuals, allowing them to contribute a small amount regularly and secure a decent monthly pension upon retirement.

Affordable Contributions for Big Returns

Under the Atal Pension Yojana, if you start investing ₹210 per month from the age of 18, you will receive a pension of ₹5,000 per month for life starting at age 60. This breaks down to a daily contribution of just ₹7, which is cheaper than a cup of tea.
