National Pension System – Because you deserve the best retirement plan!
At Paytm Money, our goal is to bring the best of wealth-building tools at your disposal that not only work to accumulate wealth for your future but also benefit you in the present. This formed the crux of our focus in launching our latest product – the National Pension System.
We are excited to announce the launch of the much-awaited National Pension System (NPS) on our app, post-approval from the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), making it one of the first online platforms in the country to do so. This new addition is expected to benefit investors by helping them save for their retirement while also enabling tax benefits.
In 2009, the ‘All Citizen Model’ in NPS was launched which allows any individual to enroll in NPS. However, to date, only 13 lakh investors have enrolled under the ‘All Citizen Model’. Paytm Money intends to increase this number manifold by enabling investments in NPS via a simple and quick digital investing experience. With the launch of NPS, we seek to offer you a product that will help you build a retirement corpus and help you save taxes today.
NPS gives you the choice to invest in Tier 1 (Tax Saver scheme) and Tier 2 (Zero Lock-in Period scheme). And Paytm Money serves as a comprehensive platform to invest in both the Tier 1 and Tier 2 accounts in a seamless manner.
In simple terms, NPS is a smart pension scheme that helps you to build a retirement corpus in a systematic way for your future and receive a regular income in your post-retirement life. Additionally, you also get to claim a tax benefit of up to Rs 1.5 lakh under Section 80 CCD (1) and an additional tax deduction of up to Rs.50,000 under section 80 CCD (1B) over and above the benefits available under Section 80C. The tax benefit available under Section 80 CCD (1) is within the overall ceiling of Section 80 CCE. Thus, investments in NPS lets you enjoy tax benefits to the tune of Rs 2 lakh.
