Understanding the National Pension Scheme (NPS)

The National Pension Scheme (NPS) is a government-sponsored retirement scheme that combines market-linked returns with the security of regulated pension funds. It’s designed to help you build a retirement corpus during your working years and then receive a regular pension after retirement.

NPS has two phases:

Accumulation Phase: During your working years, you contribute regularly to your NPS account. Your contributions are invested in a mix of equity, corporate bonds, and government securities based on your risk preference.

Distribution Phase: At retirement, you can withdraw up to 60% of your corpus as a lumpsum (tax-free). The remaining 40% must be used to purchase an annuity that provides you with a regular monthly pension.
