National Pension System (NPS)

NPS is a government-sponsored pension scheme that helps you save for retirement. At maturity (age 60), you must use at least 40% of the corpus to purchase an annuity for monthly pension.

The Mechanics Behind NPS Calculator: Free Investment & Loan Planning Tool

The National Pension System (NPS) leverages long-term market-linked compounding. The math projects your SIP-style contributions until age 60, followed by a mandatory 40% annuity conversion.

Corpus = ∑ [Contribution × (1+r)^t]

Strategic Execution

NPS is arguably the most powerful retirement vehicle in India due to the exclusive extra ₹50,000 tax deduction under 80CCD(1B).

Key Parameters

  • ● Asset Allocation: Young investors should maximize the equity component (Active Choice: Up to 75% Equity) to harness market growth over decades.
  • ● Annuity Drawback: Be aware that the mandatory annuity portion at retirement yields taxable, typically lower-than-market returns.

Myth vs. Fact

The Myth

"NPS is completely tax-free on withdrawal."

The Fact

While 60% of the lumpsum withdrawal at maturity is tax-free, the monthly pension generated by the mandatory 40% annuity is fully taxable as income.
