Similarly, at 19 years, the combined contribution would be Rs 116,  at 23 it would be Rs 144 at 30 years it would be Rs 210 and at 40 years, it would be Rs 400.

In case the subscriber has not paid the contribution continuously he or she will be allowed to regularise the contribution by paying entire outstanding dues, along with penalty charges, if any, decided by the government.
