New Delhi: The Government of India is planning to expand the scope of social security for informal sector workers. In view of rising inflation and increasing expenses faced by retirees, the government is considering raising the upper limit of the minimum pension provided under the Atal Pension Yojana to ₹10,000 per month.
Officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, indicated that increasing the limit could encourage more new subscribers to join the scheme while also ensuring that existing members continue to remain enrolled.
