Also, investment for a period of 20 years is a must under this scheme and it is mandatory to have a bank account linked to your Aadhaar card.

The scheme is mainly meant for the unorganized sectors whose income is low so that they can keep on getting the money after attaining the age of 60 years.

Those whose income does not come under the income tax slab can also reap the benefits of this scheme. The beneficiary under the APY scheme gets a minimum of Rs 1000 and a maximum of Rs 5000 per month.

However, people need to note that the amount of investment will differ according to age. The early you start investing the less you have to invest.

While, if you start investing at the age of 30, then you have to invest an amount of Rs 577 and if you are 39 years of age, then you have to invest an amount of Rs 1,318 per month, as per a report by dnaindia.com.
