What is NPS?
National Pension System (NPS) is a pension cum investment scheme launched by Government of India to provide old age security to investors. NPS is a market-linked defined contribution scheme that helps you save for your retirement. The scheme is simple, voluntary, portable and flexible
In accordance with the most current National Pension System laws, members will be able to withdraw up to 25% of the money they individually contribute to their accounts beginning on February 1, 2024, once three years have elapsed after the account was created. The employer's contribution, if any, and any returns earned on the contributions should not be included in the partial withdrawal.
