The National Pension System (NPS) is governed by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). This scheme/system allows individuals to contribute towards their retirement fund. Investing in NPS has become very easy due to the easy online access.

TIn this article, we will explain how to invest in NPS online.

In order to build a retirement fund for working professionals, the Government of India has launched the National Pension System. It is a unique Pension Scheme/System that allows individuals to effectively plan for their retirement through safe and reasonable market-based returns.

Types of NPS Account:

There are two types of NPS Accounts-

NPS Tier I

The NPS Tier I Account is ideal for people seeking a long-term retirement savings strategy with tax advantages. This account is obligatory and has regulated withdrawal choices to ensure disciplined savings. The minimum annual contribution is Rs. 1,000, with no limit on the maximum investment amount. After three years, subscribers can make partial withdrawals of up to 25% of their self-contribution for personal or commercial reasons.

This account provides considerable tax benefits. Section 80CCD(1) allows for a deduction of up to Rs. 1,50,000, with an additional Rs. 50,000 deduction payable under Section 80CCD(1B). If you want to save for retirement while receiving additional tax benefits, the Tier I Account is the ideal option.

NPS Tier II

The NPS Tier II Account is a flexible investing solution for users needing liquidity. You can make unlimited withdrawals, making it ideal for short-term financial goals. To establish a Tier II Account, you must first have a Tier I account. The minimum investment is Rs. 1,000, and there is no upper limit.

Unlike Tier I, the Tier II Account does not give tax benefits, but it allows you to manage your savings for immediate or medium-term goals. Tier II is an excellent alternative if you want flexibility and liquidity in your investments.
