I would like to share with you about a scheme where a certain amount of money reaches your hands every month after retirement. This is a central government project. That project is called APY (Atal pension Yojana). Let us compare NPS with APY.
We need a source of income after retirement. This pension will help us to meet our needs without depending on others. The minimum pension is Rs 1000. Maximum pension is Rs 5000. We will start getting pension from pension yojana after the age of 60 yrs.yYou will receive a pension after the age of 60 yrs depending on your current age and the amount you invest with it.
Suppose you are 18 years old. Supposed you invest Rs 42 / month. You will get a pension of Rs 1000 after the age of 60yrs. We can build a pension corpus of one lakh and seventy thousand rupees.
If an 18 yrs old person pays Rs 84 / month, At the age of 60yrs ,we will get a pension corpus of Rs 3,40,000 and a pension of Rs 2,000 per month.
If an 18 years old person pays 126/ month, at the age of 60 yrs,we will get a pension corpus of Rs 5,10,000 and a pension of Rs 3,000 per month.
If an 18 years old person pays 168/ month , at the age of 60 yrs, we will get a pension Corpus of Rs 6,80,000 and pension of Rs 4,000 per month.
If an 18 years old person pays 210/ month, at the age of 60 years ,we will get a pension Corpus of Rs 8,50,000 and pension of Rs 5,000 per month.
The amount to be paid increases with age. If you are 39 years old,you will get only Rs 1000 ,if you pay Rs 264 per month.
