The APY scheme became operational from 1st June, 2015 and is available
to all citizens of India in the age group of 18-40 years. Under
the Scheme, a subscriber would receive a minimum guaranteed pension of
Rs.1000 to Rs.5000 per month, depending upon his contribution, from the age of
60 years. The same pension would be paid to the spouse of the
subscriber and on the demise
of both the subscriber and spouse, the
accumulated pension wealth is returned to the nominee.
The APY Scheme follows the same investment pattern as applicable to the
NPS contribution of Central Govt employees. During the year 2016-17,
it has earned a return of 13.91%.
The number of current APY Subscribers has crossed
86 lacs mark. The yearly addition in APY enrollment is provided
