<h1>Atal Pension Yojana expansion: service providers mobilise accounts and extend pension coverage with guaranteed monthly benefits and nominee protection.</h1> PFRDA recognised Atal Pension Yojana service providers after an outreach campaign that mobilised substantial new accounts, engaging public, private, regional rural, cooperative banks and the Department of Post to expand APY coverage. The scheme provides a guaranteed pension to subscribers and their surviving spouse, with accumulated pension wealth payable to nominees, follows the National Pension System investment pattern for central government contributions, reports realised returns, and contemplates administrative adjustments to eligibility and early superannuation to broaden coverage.
