APY was launched on 09.05.2015, with the objective of creating a universal social security system for all Indians, especially the poor, the under-privileged and the workers in the unorganised sector. APY scheme offers flexible minimum guaranteed pension of Rs. 1000, Rs. 2000, Rs. 3000, Rs.4000 or Rs. 5000 per month. Accordingly, per month subscription amount presently varies from Rs. 42 to Rs. 1454 based on age of joining and pension amount chosen. Any increase in pension amount is likely to increase the subscription amount substantially and put further burden on the subscriber. The enrolments in the lower pension slab suggest that the APY is reaching the poorest of poor.

Presently, it has been decided to continue the scheme with same terms and conditions and not to further increase the pension and consequential subscription amount.

This information was given by Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance Pankaj Chaudhary in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha yesterday.
