NPS Minimum Contribution, Tax Benefits And Other Details Under Corporate Model
National Pension System (NPS) is an easily accessible, low cost, tax-efficient, flexible and portable retirement savings account. Under NPS, an individual contributes to his retirement account and his employer can also co-contribute for the employee's social security/welfare. There is no defined benefit that would be available at the time of exit from NPS and the accumulated wealth depends on the contributions made and the income generated from investment of such wealth. The greater the value of the contributions made, the greater the investments achieved, the longer the term over which the fund accumulates and the lower the charges deducted, and the larger would be the eventual benefit of the accumulated pension wealth.
NPS is managed by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).
