Indian NPS (National Pension System)

What is NPS?

The National Pension System (NPS) is a voluntary retirement savings scheme regulated by PFRDA (Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority).

It’s designed to provide regular income after retirement by encouraging disciplined, long-term investment.

  • 40% must be used to buy an annuity (pension), which is taxable as income when received.
+

🧾 Example (Retirement Corpus)

  • Suppose you invest ₹5,000/month from age 30 to 60 (30 years).
  • Assuming 10% annual return, corpus may grow to ₹1.14 crore.
  • At retirement:
    ₹68.4 lakh (60%) tax-free lump sum.
    ₹45.6 lakh (40%) goes into annuity                                                    → gives you pension.

✅ Pros

  • Strong tax benefits (especially 80CCD(1B)).
  • Low-cost (fund management charges ~0.01%).
