What is National Pension System?

The Government of India (GOI) rolled out the NPS for all citizens of India from May 1, 2009 and Corporate sector from December, 2011.

The person (employee/citizen) who joins the NPS will be known as “Subscriber” in the NPS. Under the NPS, each Subscriber will open an account with Central Recordkeeping Agency (CRA) which will be identified through unique Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN).

Under NPS, two types of account would be available to subscribers i.e. Tier I & Tier II; Tier I account – where subscribers contribute his / her savings (may include employers contribution in case of Corporate sector) for retirement into a non-withdrawable account, and a Tier II account – a voluntary savings account from which subscribers are free to withdraw their savings whenever he wishes. The facility of Tier II account was made available from December 01, 2009 to All Citizens of India including Govt. employees and Corporate sector subscribers not mandatorily covered under NPS. An active Tier I account will be a pre requisite for opening of a Tier II.

What are the benefits of NPS?

1.It is voluntary – NPS is open to every Indian Citizen. A subscriber can choose the amount he wants to set aside and save every year.

2.It is simple – All the subscriber has to do is to open an account with any one of POPs (Point Of Presence) and get a PRAN.

3.It is flexible – Subscribers can choose their own investment option and pension fund and see their money grow.

4.It is portable – Subscribers can operate their account from any where in the country, even if they change the city, job or their pension fund manager.

5.It is regulated – NPS is regulated by PFRDA, with transparent investment norms and regular monitoring and performance review of fund managers by NPS Trust.

    1. when I called on toll free no 1800-222-080 , it asks to put user ID. how to know what is subscriber’s user ID?
    2. On eNPS registration form its written that PRAN will be authenticated through an OTP sent to the mobile no of subscriber. I have got PRAN but no OTP is received. who is supposed to send OTP? when? is there any way to inform for an OTP?
    3. Subsequent contribution to NPS can be done only after my Bank confirms NYC to CRA. will CRA internally contact Bank for KYC? or should I go to Bank and tell them to do it? Until they do it, I am stuck… I can not pay new contribution.

    Additional Tax Benefits of Rs.50000 ( apart from 80C Limits of Rs.1.50 Lacs ):
    Please note that tax payer can avail additional tax benefits of Rs.50000 by investing into NPS. Such additional limit is over and above of 80C Limits of Rs.1.50 Lacs.

    So by investing Rs.50000 into NPS, tax payer can take tax benefits on total Rs.2 Lacs.

    Regards

    From FY 2015-16, an additional Rs 50,000 can be deposited by subscriber in NPS Tier-I account. This is over & above Employer contribution of 10% of Basic which has a ceiling of Rs 1L. Thus one can effectively deposit Rs 1.5L (Rs 1L through employer & Rs 50,000 by self) in Tier-I.

  9. Vinod Master says:

    Earlier the deduction allowed for contribution to NPS was limited to Rs. 1 Lakh [Sub Section 1A of Section 80CCD]. However, with a view to encourage people to contribute towards NPS, the maximum amount allowed to be invested in National Pension Scheme has been increased from Rs. 1 Lakhs to Rs. 1.5 Lakhs.
    Moreover, in the Budget 2015 announced by Arun Jaitley – a new sub-section 1B has also been introduced so as to provide for additional deduction in respect of any amount paid, of upto Rs. 50,000 for contributions made by any Individual assessees under NPS.
    This additional benefit of Rs. 50,000 is over and above the benefit of Rs. 1.5 Lakhs allowed to be claimed as a deduction under Section 80C. Therefore, now the total deduction that can be claimed under Section 80C + Section 80CCD = Rs. 2 Lakhs.
