Under the Atal Pension Yojana, subscribers who enrol at age 18 and wish to receive the maximum guaranteed pension of ₹5,000 per month upon attaining 60 yearsmust contribute ₹210 per month. The contribution amount varies inversely with the age at enrolment — younger subscribers contribute less. For instance, ₹42 per month yields a monthly pension of only ₹1,000 for an 18-year-old entrant, while ₹291 per month is required from a subscriber joining at age 40 for the same ₹5,000 pension. The scheme guarantees five pension slabs: ₹1,000, ₹2,000, ₹3,000, ₹4,000, and ₹5,000 per month.
