What makes the linking of Aadhar card to APY scheme very important?

Aren’t you wondering what benefits are associated to the linking of the Aadhar card to your Atal Pension Yojana scheme? Here is the answer to your query –

    “The Ministry of Finance announced that the Government of India will co-contribute to the subscriber’s premium for a period of 5 years in the APY scheme�?

The credits are processed to the accounts that are linked to the Aadhar number of the subscriber. The sum that is assured to be co-contributed by the Government is Rs. 1000/- per annum or 50% of the total contribution, whichever is lesser for the period of 5 years.

It is from the same Savings account that the monthly installments for the premium payment will be debited from the subscriber. It is important to keep this account funded periodically to process the dues else it results in the discontinuation of the APY scheme.

The APY scheme was launched with the intent of providing social security to the poor and the under privileged as the co-contribution by the Government is restricted to the crowd who aren’t Income-tax payers.

Though the benefits are limited to the lower strata of the society, all bank holders are eligible to join the pension scheme and be privileged. So join in and be benefited! 🙂
