What suggestions are you looking for? If your employer enrolls you for corporate NPS, You can ask them to make contributions upto 10% of your basic salary. Every other rule applicable for tier 1 withdrawal, fund allocation, fund manager choice etc. is same as government or individual NPS tier 1 accounts . Especially if you are in the top tax bracket, to me it would make a lot of sense to do this . The saved money on tax alone would sweeten the deal and any additional gains are your bonus. If you take 100 inr and invest with even a 0 percent return in corporate nps at the end of the year you will have inr 100. If you have exhausted all investments and want to invest 100 inr elsewhere, you would first pay inr 30 as tax and invest inr 70. Then you will need returns of at least 43 percent to match nps (100×30/70) . This assuming nps does not give you any return. For long term the returns cannot be 0 even in the worst case so you can do your own compound calculations and see what makes sense. One example is as follows :
monthly income diverted to nps 100. Roi 2%. Period 25 years. Corpus accumulated will be 38851 with no taxes
Any other monthly investment 70 (assuming 30 percent bracket and no scope for further tax planning). Roi 8 percent. Period 25 years. Corpus accumulated will be 64039 - income taxes/capital gains
monthly income diverted to nps 100. Roi 5%. Period 25 years. Corpus accumulated will be 58812 with no taxes .
Money is locked in nps though so keep it in mind.
True. Lock in sucks. However about 60 percent withdrawal - if NPS was to provide similar returns of 8% for the example I posted we will have a tax free corpus of 91485 out of which 54891 can be withdrawn and rest goes for annuity plan to generate monthly pension. I had posted assuming minimal return rates for NPS however for past 10 years or so Mutual funds for instance have not outperformed NPS by much and that also gets offset to some extent due to exit load and higher total expense ratio.
Do not keep all your eggs in a single basket and you should be good.
Can we withdraw in between ?
