National Pension Scheme
National Pension System (NPS)
Secure Your Retirement with a Flexible & Tax-Efficient Pension Plan
The National Pension System (NPS) is a government-backed, voluntary retirement savings scheme designed to help you build a substantial corpus for your post-retirement life. It encourages disciplined long-term investing with the benefit of attractive tax savings and flexible investment choices.
What is NPS?
NPS is a defined contribution pension scheme regulated by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). It allows you to invest regularly during your working years and accumulate a retirement corpus, which can be used to secure a steady pension after retirement.
Key Features of NPS
- Open to All: Available to Indian citizens aged 18 to 65, including salaried employees, self-employed individuals, and NRIs.
- Flexible Contributions: Make regular or one-time contributions as per your convenience, with no upper limit on investment amount.
- Choice of Investment Options: Invest across equity, corporate bonds, government securities, and alternative assets by selecting from various pension fund managers.
- Market-Linked Returns: Your savings grow based on market performance, offering potential for higher returns compared to traditional fixed-income retirement schemes.
- Tax Benefits: Contributions up to ₹1.5 lakh qualify for tax deductions under Section 80C. An additional deduction of ₹50,000 is available under Section 80CCD(1B).
- Lock-in Until Retirement: Funds remain invested until retirement age (currently 60 years), ensuring long-term wealth accumulation.
How Does NPS Work?
- Account Opening: Open an NPS account with a Point of Presence (POP) like Shubh Financial Hub.
- Contributions: Regularly contribute to your NPS account via lump sum or systematic deposits.
- Investment & Growth: Your contributions are invested in a mix of equities, government bonds, and corporate debt based on your chosen investment option.
