The total number of subscribers registered under APY as on April 12, 2018, has crossed 97.60 lakhs.

The scheme provides for a co-contribution from Government of India for those who have registered before March 31, 2016, with an amount of 50% of the subscribers’ contribution up-to a maximum of Rs 1,000 and these subscribers will be eligible for co-contribution for a period 5 years from 2015-16 to 2019-20. Oonly those subscribers who are not income tax payers and not part of any other social security schemes are eligible for Government of India co-contribution.

Keeping in view the above, the Government of India through PFRDA has released co-contribution for the FY 2016-17 for nearly 14 lakh eligible subscribers amounting to Rs 120.92 crore. The Subscribers who have any pending contributions in their APY account till March 2017 won’t be paid with co-contribution.
