What is the rule for withdrawing money from NPS?
Currently, NPS subscribers can withdraw up to 60 per cent of the total corpus in a lump sum. Whereas 40 percent of the corpus can be utilised. Suppose if your total NPS corpus is Rs 5 lakh, then after completion of maturity, the subscriber will be able to withdraw 60% of this amount. On the other hand, if you withdraw before maturity, you will need to buy annuity from 80 percent of the corpus.
