    Can I pay for NPS without employer contribution. How Gov. is going to check that I contribute maximum 10% of basic. Or can i contribute to NPS more than 10% of basic salary?

      @Adi
      NPS account can be opened and operated without employer contribution as well.
      There is no maximum limit of investment. Minimum Rs 6000 has to be invested per year.

    Please tell me how to get my amount refunded,is there any other form also that has to be filled and from where to enquire about it all this?

      @Ritika
      If a subscriber wishes to exit from NPS before attaining the age of 60, he/she can withdraw upto 20% of the sum accumulated till that point of time. The subscriber has to buy annuity with the rest of the money.

    I am Central Government employee covered under New Pension Scheme having Tier 1 Account. Sir PFRDA and Government always issue circulars regarding withdrawal at retirement or death. We all have regular life so as there will be requirement of money at any stage and in any year and in any emergeny.
    (1) Are Government And PFRDA deciding about withdrawal in a year ?
    (2 ) Is there facility of Tier 2 account for Central Government employee?
    Please help me sir, In my NPS Account there is 2,44000/- available at this time but there is no provision or rule of withdrawal therefore I took personal loan on 17% interest from Private Bank in an emergency.

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Shashikant
      1. As of now, if withdrawal is made before 60 years (that too on resignation only), 20% amount would be provided and with rest amount, annuity has to be bought. We would update this post once Govt/PFRDA change this rule.
      2. Tier 2 account can be opened by any Indian who already has Tier 1 account.

    Hi Pankaj

    My question is same as Shashikant.. Are there any discussions going on with the government from Central Govt Employees representatives regarding the withdraw of NPS money at certain intervals? It would be helpful for the needy if certain amount can be withdrawl from the NPS

  7. Varun says

    Hi Pankaj,

    This is Varun again. I just want to conform whether the amount of my contribution in the TIER-I from my side can be increased?

    • Pankaj Batra says

      @Varun
      Yes, you can get your contribution into tier 1 account increased.
      You can invest into Tier-1 directly also quoting your PRAN number from any POP branch.
