NPS என்றால் என்ன? ஏன் திறக்க வேண்டும்?
NPS (National Pension System) is a government-regulated retirement savings scheme managed by PFRDA. Key benefits: Tax saving of Rs.1,50,000 under Section 80C PLUS additional Rs.50,000 under Section 80CCD(1B) — total Rs.2 lakh deduction. This extra Rs.50,000 deduction is exclusive to NPS — no other investment gives this benefit. Tax saved on Rs.50,000 NPS contribution: Rs.15,600 (30% bracket), Rs.10,400 (20%). Returns: 8–12% historically (equity + debt mix). At maturity (age 60): 60% lump sum (tax-free) + 40% used to buy monthly pension (annuity).
