What is the National Pension System (NPS)?

The NPS is a voluntary, long-term retirement savings scheme designed to enable systematic savings. It is a mix of equity, corporate bonds, and government securities. For Central Government employees, it is mandatory to contribute 10% of Basic+DA, with a matching 14% from the government.

Withdrawal Rules at 60

Once you reach the age of 60, you can withdraw up to 60% of the corpus as a tax-free lumpsum. The remaining 40% must be used to purchase an annuity, which provides you with a regular monthly pension for life.
