The National Pension System (NPS), regulated by PFRDA, has emerged as a popular investment scheme aimed at saving for one’s retirement. NPS is essentially a market linked investment that helps accumulate one’s savings towards retirement. After opening an NPS account, one has to keep saving during the ‘deferment phase’ or the ‘accumulation phase’ and then start getting a pension from the ‘annuity phase’.
