Revanth Reddy’s vision includes placing the names and details of other family members on the back of the card, ensuring a comprehensive overview of the household. Drawing insights from visits to various states, officials presented a comparative analysis of family digital cards, outlining their benefits and drawbacks.

The CM instructed officials to streamline data collection for the cards, leveraging existing schemes like ration, Rajiv Arogyashri, IT, and agriculture to identify eligible families. By adopting best practices from other states and eliminating unnecessary information requirements such as bank accounts and PAN cards, the aim is to enhance efficiency and inclusivity in the system.

In a strategic move, CM Revanth Reddy directed a detailed report to be prepared for a cabinet sub-committee, headed by key ministers, to facilitate a comprehensive review and refinement of the family digital card criteria. Pilot projects in selected rural and urban areas will test the new system’s effectiveness, with a focus on meticulous door-to-door inspections for accurate data verification.

The CM’s proactive stance on overseeing the pilot projects underscores the government’s commitment to precision and accountability in implementing the updated family digital card system. With a call for thorough field inspections and dedicated officer appointments, the initiative aims to deliver error-free results and empower families across the state.

In today’s society, the elderly face challenges in sustaining themselves, particularly those who lack the benefits of traditional employment. While employees often receive pensions post-retirement, individuals in the unorganized sector find themselves on the brink, relying heavily on others for even the most basic necessities.

To address this gap, the Central Government launched the Atal Pension Yojana in 2015. This pension scheme targets workers in the unorganized sector, offering them a path to financial security in their later years. Opening an Atal Pension Yojana account is a straightforward process, either online or by visiting a bank branch, with simple eligibility criteria in place.

Applicants aged between 18 to 40 years, holding a savings account in any Indian bank, can avail of this scheme, especially those not falling under the taxpayer category. A valid Aadhaar number linked to the bank account is a prerequisite, along with not being part of other social security schemes like EPF or ESI.

Key features of the Atal Pension Yojana include a guaranteed monthly pension ranging from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 5,000 based on contributions, with the Government contributing 50% or Rs. 1,000 (whichever is lesser). Contributions are flexible, varying with the chosen pension amount and age of entry, automatically deducted from the savings account.

Additionally, the scheme allows for nominee selection, ensuring continuity of benefits in case of the subscriber’s demise. Premature retirement is only permitted in specific circumstances like death or terminal illness, with provisions for the spouse to continue or exit the scheme based on preference.

The benefits of the Atal Pension Yojana are manifold, offering a stable income post-retirement, ensuring financial autonomy in old age, and safeguarding against market fluctuations due to government-backed guarantees. Low-income groups stand to gain from government grants, making the scheme accessible even to those with modest earnings.

Moreover, contributions up to Rs. 50,000 are eligible for tax deductions under Section 80CCD (1B) of the Income Tax Act, further incentivizing participation in this crucial pension scheme.
