Atal Pension Yojana (APY)1 – Details of the Scheme
Atal Pension Yojana (APY) 1 – Details of the Scheme 1. Introduction 1.1 The Government of India is extremely concerned about the old age income security of the working poor and is focused on encouraging and enabling them to join the National Pension System (NPS). To address the longevity risks among the workers in unorganised sector and to encourage the workers in unorganised sector to voluntarily save for their retirement, who constitute 88% of the total labour force of 47.29 crore as per the 66th Round of NSSO Survey of 2011-12, but do not have any formal pension provision, the Government had started the Swavalamban Scheme in 2010-11. However, coverage under Swavalamban Scheme is inadequate mainly due to lack of guaranteed pension benefits at the age of 60. 1.2 The Government announced the introduction of universal social security schemes in the Insurance and Pension sectors for all Indians, specially the poor and the under-privileged, in the Budget for the year 2015-16. Therefore, it has been announced that the Government will launch the Atal Pension Yojana (APY), which will provide a defined pension, depending on the contribution, and its period. The APY will be focussed on all citizens in the unorganised sector, who join the National Pension System (NPS) administered by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). Under the APY, the subscribers would receive the fixed minimum pension of Rs. 1000 per month, Rs. 2000 per month, Rs. 3000 per month, Rs. 4000 per month, Rs. 5000 per month, at the age of 60 years, depending on their contributions, which itself would be based on the age of joining the APY. -

Both employer and employee are required to contribute to the provident fund and the pension fund. The rate of contribution is 12% of the basic wages, dearness allowance and retaining allowance (if any). Out of the 12%, 8.33% is deposited to the pension fund and 3.67% is deposited to the provident fund. For a few notified establishments this rate was brought down to 10% by a notification of the Government of India in the year 1997 (1997 Notification). These include establishments employing less than 20 employees, sick industries, and jute industries. National pension system NPS is a government-sponsored pension scheme. It was launched in January 2004 for government employees. However, in 2009, it was opened to all sections. The scheme allows subscribers to contribute regularly in a pension account during their working life. On retirement, subscribers can withdraw a part of the corpus in a lumpsum and use the remaining corpus to buy an annuity to secure a regular income after retirement. Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY, translation: Prime Minister's People's Wealth Scheme) is a financial inclusion program of the Government of India open to Indian citizens (minors of age 10 and older can also open an account with a guardian to manage it), that aims to expand affordable access to financial services such as bank accounts, remittances, credit, insurance and pensions. -

Gopi Technical Director & Scientist 'E', Puducherry UT , National Informatics Centre, Swaminathan Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India Dr. Dev Ratna State Informatics Officer & Scientist 'F', Puducherry UT, National Informatics Centre, Shukla Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India ABSTRACT The Direct benefit Transfer (DBT) system launched by Government of India to ensure that benefits go to individuals' bank accounts electronically, minimizing multiple layers involved in fund flow thereby reducing delay in payment, ensuring accurate targeting of the beneficiary and curbing pilferage and duplication. In Public Distribution System, the system has been implemented to beneficiaries identified under National Food Security Act, 2013 in Union Territories of Government of India for providing Food security. Puducherry UT, with 1.64 lakhs families has been operational since September 2015. Although the small size of the U.T., the geographical locations of the four regions among the three Southern States of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh in India with three different spoken languages poses a real challenge for planners. Particularly, in Public distribution system, there are many challenges due to various issues in storage and transshipment points of these regions like theft en route, multiple handling, poor quality of gunny bags as well as the loss of moisture, insect-pest and disease infestation, spillage of grain from gunny bags etc. On the other hand, the banking industry has shown tremendous growth in volume and complexity during the last few decades. -

Digital Cash Transfers for Stranded Migrants Lessons from Bihar’S COVID-19 Assistance Program Anit Mukherjee
CGD Note OCT 2020 Digital Cash Transfers for Stranded Migrants Lessons from Bihar’s COVID-19 Assistance Program Anit Mukherjee INDIA’S COVID-19 LOCKDOWN AND ITS AFTERMATH On March 24, with little advance notice, India’s federal government announced a strict countrywide lockdown to contain the spread of COVID-19. Within two days, it also announced a relief package providing cash transfers to women, elderly and farmers, as well as food grains through the Public Distribution System (PDS). In spite of these measures, millions of migrants – mostly urban informal sector workers - made a desperate attempt to return to their villages, often walking several hundred kilometers over many days to get there. The chaotic scenes witnessed during the first week of India’s lockdown underscored the precariousness of their livelihoods and highlighted the shortcomings in India’s extensive social safety net that caters to nearly 80 percent of its 1.3 billion people. For nearly a decade, India has invested in building a digital infrastructure to transfer social benefits to its citizens directly to their bank accounts. Known as the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) platform, it currently includes 380 schemes run by 52 ministries of the federal government. State governments can use the DBT platform for their own cash transfer schemes as well. India also has a clear strategy in place to enable digital delivery of public services, subsidies and transfers. Known as the “JAM trinity”, the objective is to utilize universal coverage of its biometric ID system, Aadhaar, to expand bank account ownership through the Jan Dhan financial inclusion program and leverage mobile technology to reach final beneficiaries of social assistance. -
