    Subscriber's Death

    Upon the death of a beneficiary before 60 years of age, here are the two options one can follow:

    Close the APY Account

    If the spouse is keen to close the APY account, he/she will get the accumulated corpus. In case a spouse is not present, the nominee will get the pension amount.

    Continue the APY Account

    If the spouse wants to continue the APY account, one can maintain the account in his/her name. The spouse will get the same amount as that of the beneficiary until death.

    Voluntary Exit

    The scheme offers flexibility in providing a voluntary exit from this scheme. In this case, the Government will only refund your accumulated contributions and earned interest over the years. You are not eligible to get the Government co-contributions in case of voluntary withdrawal.

    A voluntary exit is only valid in exceptional situations like illness or death.

    Exit Due to Illness

    You can withdraw from this scheme based on specified illness. Accordingly, the Government will refund your accumulated pension corpus to your bank account.

    Furthermore, the subscriber can withdraw the monthly pension by requesting the bank where he or she opened the APY account if he or she has become 60 years old. In case of higher returns, the subscriber will receive higher monthly pension.
