Top Banks With Over 1 lakh APY Enrolments In Fiscal Year 2021-22

Any Indian citizen between the ages of 18 and 40 can join the APY through a bank or post office branch where they have a savings bank account.

From the age of 60, a subscriber would be eligible for a minimum guaranteed pension of Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 5,000 per month, based on his contribution. The same pension would be provided to the subscriber's spouse, and if both the subscriber and the spouse died, the accrued pension wealth up to the age of 60 would be returned to the nominee.

During the current fiscal year 2021-22, more than 28 lakh new APY accounts were opened under the Atal Pension Yojana (APY), a government-run guaranteed pension system operated by PFRDA. As of August 25, 2021, the total number of APY enrolments had surpassed 3.30 crore.

In order to broaden the reach of the APY Scheme and benefit existing and potential APY subscribers as well as APY seers, PFRDA has recently undertaken new initiatives such as the addition of new features to the APY mobile App and its availability on the Umang platform, the updating of APY FAQs, the issuance of the APY Subscriber Information Brochure and the APY Citizen Charter in 13 regional languages.

During the current fiscal year, about 8 lakh new subscribers have joined the Atal Pension Yojana (APY) through the State Bank of India (SBI).
