Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, straightforward answers regarding process, safety, tax treatment, and liquidity.
What is the tax treatment of NPS withdrawals at age 60?
Upon reaching age 60, you can withdraw up to 60% of your accumulated corpus as a 100% tax-free lump sum. The remaining minimum 40% must be utilized to purchase an annuity plan from an authorized life insurer, which provides a guaranteed lifetime monthly pension (annuity income is taxable).
What is the difference between Tier I and Tier II NPS accounts?
Tier I is the primary retirement account with tax benefits under 80CCD(1) and 80CCD(1B), where withdrawals are locked in until age 60 (with specific partial withdrawal exceptions). Tier II is an optional voluntary investment account with zero lock-in and zero withdrawal restrictions, functioning like an open-ended mutual fund (without tax benefits).
Can I change my Pension Fund Manager (PFM) and asset allocation?
Yes. PFRDA allows you to switch your Pension Fund Manager once per financial year and modify your asset allocation (between Equity, Corporate Bonds, and G-Secs) up to four times per financial year online with zero cost.
What is the minimum annual contribution required to keep an NPS account active?
You only need to contribute a minimum of ₹1,000 per financial year in your Tier I account to keep it active. There is no upper limit on how much you can contribute.
