Tax deduction benefit
People from the age of 18 years to 60 years can start investing in NPS. This scheme is directly related to the government. An investor in NPS gets the benefit of deduction under 80C.

You can withdraw money in two ways
The first is that you can withdraw a limited part of the deposited amount in one go, while the second part will be deposited for pension. Annuity is bought with this amount. The more money you leave to buy annuity, the more pension you will get after retirement. But you have to pay tax on the income from annuity.
