NPS stands for National Pension System. It is a government-backed retirement savings scheme in India. NPS allows individuals to contribute regularly during their working years and receive a lump sum along with a pension after retirement. It is a market-linked scheme that invests in a mix of equity, corporate bonds, and government securities. The scheme is regulated by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).
Available to Indian citizens aged 18 to 70 years. You contribute regularly, and the funds are invested in equity, corporate debt, or government securities as per your chosen allocation. At retirement, you can withdraw a portion of the corpus and use the rest to buy an annuity, ensuring a regular pension for life.
