How to Withdraw from NPS Account?

NPS
Mar 15, 2022 Alankit

A substantial corpus creation for one’s happy retired phase is an essential aspect to be taken care of during financial planning. Right financial planning is necessary as it not only allows individuals to fulfil their expenditure requirements but also allows them to sail through their sunset years with least hassles.

To address this concern of the growing demography of the senior citizens in the country, the Government of India introduced the National Pension System (NPS) to allow individuals for systematic savings during one’s working years, thus increasing the concept of savings for a better future.

People can invest in this pension scheme regularly and receive the lump sum amount and annuity pension after their retirement. The regulatory authority also allows partial withdrawal from the NPS Tier-II account.

Withdrawal

Under NPS, an individual can make withdrawals under two circumstances:

  • Partial Withdrawal: In case of any need or emergency that too after a gap of 5 years from previous withdrawal from Tier-II account or after 15 years of enrolment in the scheme.
  • Exit Withdrawal: In the case of retirement, a person can make exit withdrawal but is allowed to withdraw only 60% of their investment rest 40% will be provided as monthly pension.

Under NPS, there are a set of forms to make the withdrawal process easier. These forms are bifurcated based on the purpose of NPS withdrawal. There are 3 different types of forms available to subscribers as the scheme is open to people from all backgrounds of life. There is a possibility for confusion to pound in; consequently the Government has segregated the withdrawal forms based on the category of people.
