NPS is a social security initiative by the Central Government. It is a pension programme that is open to employees from the public, private and even the unorganised sectors except individuals working with the armed forces.
The scheme allows subscribers to invest a fixed amount every month or at regular intervals during the course of their employment. After retirement, the subscribers can take out a certain percentage of the corpus and the remaining amount is paid as a monthly pension. NPS also provides tax benefits as contributions made towards NPS are exempted under section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
Both residents and non-residents of India, between the age limit of 18 and 70 years can open an NPS account.
