Managing your finances effectively involves keeping track of various accounts and investments. One crucial aspect of financial planning is monitoring your National Pension System Scheme (NPS) balance. The NPS is a retirement savings scheme offered by the Government of India, designed to provide financial security during your post-retirement years.

Whether you are a seasoned investor or just starting to contribute to your NPS account, knowing how to check your NPS balance is essential. Here’s a detailed guide to help you navigate this process.

What is the National Pension System (NPS)?   

The National Pension System (NPS) is a government-backed retirement savings scheme in India, designed to provide financial security to its subscribers during their old age.

It operates on a defined contribution basis, where individuals contribute regularly towards their pension account during their working life. These contributions are invested in various market-linked instruments to generate returns over time.

The scheme is open to all Indian citizens, including non-resident Indians (NRIs), and offers tax benefits under specific provisions of the Income Tax Act. It is regulated by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).

Types of NPS Accounts

1. Tier-I Account: This is a mandatory account where contributions are regularly made by the subscriber. Withdrawals are allowed under specific conditions such as retirement or after a certain age.
2. Tier-II Account: This is a voluntary savings account that offers more flexibility in terms of withdrawals. However, it requires an active Tier-I account to be opened first.
