Let us know how to register for Atal Pension Yojana and what are its benefits. In lieu of the amount invested in this pension scheme, the government will give pension after 60 years. Under the scheme, after making a certain contribution in the account every month, after retirement, a monthly pension of one thousand to five thousand rupees will be given. According to the current rules, if a maximum of Rs 5000 is added to the scheme for a monthly pension of 18 years at your age, then you will have to pay only Rs 210 every month
If the same money is given every three months, then Rs 626 will have to be paid and Rs 1,239 will have to be paid in six months. Suppose you join for 5 thousand pension at the age of 35, then for 25 years you will have to deposit Rs 5,323 every 6 months. In this case, your total investment will be Rs 2.66 lakh. On that amount you will get Rs 5000 monthly pension. On the other hand, if you join at the age of 18, then your total investment will be only Rs 1.04 lakh.
