If I invest 50k in NPS, I would save 7k this year as per my tax calculation. Is this a good deal? In general, I don't like such long term investment, maybe I'd start that when I'm 35 but not today.

NPS has the worst liquidity (Can only withdraw post retirement). Stay away.
Rather purchase ELSS with good histororical performance and low TER (Expense ratio).

Why don't you start now and stop at 35

When you factor in the tax savings with the returns NPS is a good deal.

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
