The Atal Pension Yojana was launched by the Government of India on 9th May 2015 and became operational from 1st June 2015.
The scheme is open to all citizens of India between 18 and 40 years of age who have a savings bank account.
There are five pension plan slabs available: Rs 1000, Rs 2000, Rs 3000, Rs 4000, and Rs 5000 guaranteed by the Government of India to the subscriber at age 60.
