  • 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.

  • ABSOLUTELY PREPARED at HOME NFLAT Class: IX Topic: Financial Inclusion & Pension Scheme Subject: NFLAT Content Contribute To
    NFLAT Class: IX Topic: Financial Inclusion & Pension Scheme Subject: NFLAT Content Contribute to Provident Fund The employee provident fund and pension fund are established under the Employees Provident Fund’s and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (EPF Act) and schemes framed thereunder. 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.

    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 29 (2016) 124-134 EISSN 2392-2192 A Case Study with Overview of Pradhan Matri Jan Dhan Yojana (Atal Pension Yojana) Dr. Rajesh K. Yadav1,a, Mr. Sarvesh Mohania2,b 1Associate Professor, School of Banking and Commerce, Jagaran University, Bhopal, M.P., India 2Assistant Professor, School of Banking and Commerce, Jagaran University, Bhopal, M.P., India a,bE-mail address: [email protected] , [email protected] ABSTRACT The study finds that existing channels of banking industry are very well utilized but due to lack of attractive features, Atal Pension Yojana is still not accepted by larger public. There is requirement of essential changes in the basic features related to amount of pension, tax exemption and claim settlement. Atal Pension Yojana is still favorable investment for those who are willing to contribute small but for longer duration for their pension funds. It is considered as landmark move by government of India towards pensioned society from pension less society. The Union government is eager to ensure financial security for unorganized sector workers, numbering over 410 million, in their old age. To tackle the prolonged existence risks among the workers in unorganized sector and to push the workers in unorganized sector to willingly save for their retirement. Atal Pension Yojana was introduced on 1st June 2015, under the promising Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana with the aim to provide financial support of pension to all the citizen of India with motto of “Jan-Dhan se Jan Surakhsha”. The study is based on secondary data collected from different websites and IRDA Journals.
