 +<WRAP info>
 +**Short version.** **Atal Pension Yojana (APY)** is administered by **PFRDA** through banks (PSBs/RRBs/private). Annuity options ₹1K–5K from age 60. If your **contribution log is missing**, **PRAN not generated**, **withdrawal stuck**, or **annuity not started**, a one-page RTI to the **PIO of PFRDA + your bank** with **₹10 fee** legally forces a written reply within **30 days** under §7(1) RTI Act 2005.

 +- Bank closed APY account without notice → written rejection RTI.
 +
 +===== Case law =====

 +
 +===== FAQs =====
