Types of NPS Account
There are two types of NPS accounts - Tier I and Tier II. Tier I is a default account. When you open an NPS account, the Tier I type account gets opened. Tier II is the voluntary addition to your existing account. In this type, you are allowed to invest and withdraw funds any time you want. A comparison between the two types is as below:
What are the Types of Accounts in the National Pension System?
Tier I NPS Account - Tier I is a retirement account. On opening a Tier I NPS account, you are allotted a 12-digit permanent retirement account number (PRAN). You can open this account with a minimum contribution of ₹500. However, to keep the account active, you need to contribute at least ₹ 1,000 in a financial year. There is no cap on the maximum investment you can make in your Tier I account. The money you invest in this account is locked until you turn 60. On turning 60, you can withdraw 60% of the corpus as a lump sum. You must use the balance of 40% of the corpus to buy an annuity plan from an insurance company that will pay you a monthly pension. Under Section 80CCD of the Income Tax Act 1961, the investments you make in your Tier I NPS account qualify for tax exemption.
