Wealth collected in the National Pension System or NPS relies on the contributions made as well as the income from investment. Basically, NPS has been designed for those who cannot achieve the benefits of pension after retirement. With National Pension System, anyone can accumulate pension fund for a long period of time. Hence, the subscribers can withdraw income from the pension fund after retirement. The employer of the person can also contribute. There is no specific benefit to be available when you exit. Under NPS, the government has added a lot of income tax benefits for contribution.
