Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has introduced a new security layer in the National Pension System (NPS).
NPS is an excellent product for retirement planning, provided you stay put till maturity
PFRDA Chairperson Deepak Mohanty on Thursday launched a web application developed by Zerodha Broking Limited to provide easy access to NPS for subscribers. The app offers seamless access to NPS to a wider subscriber base, the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) said in a statement. Mohanty said that there is merit in joining NPS at a young age to harness the benefit of compounding. NPS provides continuity to retirement saving accounts irrespective of one's employment status and is available for non-resident Indians (NRIs), it said. As youngsters are tech savvy, the facilitation by Zerodha Broking Limited would expand access to NPS, it added.
The NPS is used not only to build a sizable retirement kitty but also to reduce your taxable income by an additional Rs 50,000.
