PERSONAL FINANCE
Any Indian citizen between the ages of 18 and 65 years at the time of application can open an NPS account.
National Pension System (NPS) is one of the best retirement schemes in India. It provides an additional deduction of Rs 50,000 under section 80CCD (1B).
Hence, it can help you maximise your tax benefits. Any individual can open a pension account under NPS through eNPS.
The National Pension System is regulated by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).
It is mandatory to have an Aadhaar card for opening an NPS account. Also, the KYC is done via OTP authentication from your registered mobile number linked with your Aadhaar.
The NPS, which matures at the age of 60, can be extended until the age of 70. Although, you can only withdraw 60% of the accumulated corpus at the time of maturity. It is mandatory to invest the rest of 40% of the corpus in the annuity.
Who can apply for NPS?
Citizens between the ages of 18 and 65 years at the time of application can open an NPS account, both Tier-I (with withdrawal limitations) as well as Tier-II (no withdrawals limit)
