In short

Join by 40, pension at 60

Atal Pension Yojana eligibility by age

The Atal Pension Yojana (APY) is open to people aged 18 to 40. This calculator finds your exact age on a chosen date, tells you whether you can still enrol, how long you have before the age-40 cut-off, and how many years you'd contribute until the pension begins at age 60.

Because APY contributions run until 60, joining earlier means a longer contribution period and lower monthly instalments for the same pension. The tool shows your contribution window and the date you'd reach 60.

Note: APY has other conditions (such as a savings bank account and tax-status rules). This tool checks the age criteria only — confirm full eligibility with your bank or the official scheme.

Why the age window matters

The entry age both sets the deadline to join (your 40th birthday) and determines your contribution period. Knowing your exact age against these boundaries helps you decide whether to enrol now.
