Why Choose NPS?

  • Tax Benefits: Contributions to NPS qualify for tax deductions under Section 80C and Section 80CCD of the Income Tax Act, allowing you to save on taxes while you build your retirement corpus.
  • Flexible Investment Options: NPS offers a choice between two investment options—Active Choice and Auto Choice. Active Choice allows you to decide your asset allocation, while Auto Choice automatically allocates your investments based on your age.
  • Low Cost: NPS is one of the most cost-effective retirement products, with low fund management charges.
  • Portable: NPS is portable across jobs and locations, ensuring continuity of your retirement savings.

How Does NPS Work?

  • Two Types of Accounts:
    • Tier I Account: The primary account with restrictions on withdrawals until retirement. It’s mandatory for all NPS subscribers.
    • Tier II Account: A voluntary savings account with the flexibility to withdraw funds anytime. It functions as a regular savings account with no tax benefits.
  • Contributions: You can start contributing to NPS with as little as ₹500 for Tier I and ₹250 for Tier II. There is no upper limit on the amount you can invest.
  • Investment Choices: NPS allows investment in government bonds, corporate debt, and equities. You can switch between fund managers and investment options as per your preferences.
  • Withdrawal: At retirement, up to 60% of the corpus can be withdrawn as a lump sum, with the remaining 40% used to purchase an annuity to provide a regular pension.

Who Can Invest in NPS?

Any Indian citizen between the ages of 18 and 65 can invest in NPS. It’s an ideal product for individuals looking to secure a financially stable retirement.

Benefits of NPS

  • Retirement Security: A disciplined savings habit with NPS ensures a financially secure retirement.
  • Market-Linked Returns: Unlike traditional pension plans, NPS offers market-linked returns, potentially higher than fixed-income products.
  • Partial Withdrawals: NPS allows partial withdrawals for specific purposes like higher education, marriage of children, buying a house, or medical emergencies.

How to Open an NPS Account?

Opening an NPS account is easy and can be done both online and offline. You can visit the official NPS website or any Point of Presence (PoP) to get started. Ensure you have the necessary documents like your PAN card, Aadhaar card, and bank account details handy.
