Retire on Your Own Terms

The National Pension Scheme (NPS) is a government-backed, voluntary retirement savings scheme regulated by the PFRDA (Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority). It is designed to help individuals build a disciplined retirement corpus through market-linked, professionally managed pension funds — while offering some of the most attractive tax benefits available in India today.

What is NPS

NPS is a defined-contribution pension scheme where your contributions are invested across a mix of equity, corporate debt, and government securities, based on your chosen allocation or age-based auto allocation. The corpus accumulates over your working years and is used to provide you a regular income after retirement, along with a lump-sum withdrawal.

NPS is open to all Indian citizens (resident and NRI) between 18 and 70 years of age, and is available through two account types:

Tier I Account (Pension Account)

The primary retirement account with a lock-in until retirement (age 60). Mandatory for availing tax benefits. Partial withdrawals permitted only for specific purposes after 3 years, subject to conditions.

Tier II Account (Investment Account)

A voluntary savings account with no lock-in — withdraw anytime. Can only be opened if you already have a Tier I account. No tax benefit on contributions (except for specified government employees under a 3-year lock-in).
