"Our idea is to reach 45 crore people who are in the unorganised sector and having no access to any financial products," Bandyopadhyay, a Whole Time Member of the authority, said here at the APY Felicitation Programme.

Around 55 per cent of the total PFRDA subscribers are under the APY scheme which is for unorganised sector workers. (IANS)
