National Pension System:
The scope of the National Pension System (NPS) is gradually increasing. The National Pension Scheme (NPS) was launched in January 2004 for government employees. It was opened to all categories of people in 2009. Any person can contribute regularly to the pension account during his working life. He can also withdraw a portion of the money collected at one go and use the remaining amount to get a regular income after retirement.
The facility of opening 2 types of accounts is available in the National Pension System (NPS). The tier-1 account is a pension account. At the same time, Tier-2 account is a voluntary savings account. NPS subscribers who have Tier-1 account can open Tier-2 account. For this, offline or NPS portal can be used.

How to open an NPS account?
Take a Subscriber form from your nearest PoP and submit it with KYC papers. Once you make the initial investment (Rs 500 or Rs 250 monthly or not less than Rs 1,000), PoP will send you a PRAN – Permanent Retirement Account Number. With the help of this number and password, you can run your account. For this process, a one-time registration fee of Rs 125 will have to be paid.
Online process: If you connect your account with your PAN, Aadhaar / or mobile number, then opening an account online is easy. You can validate the registration using the OTP sent to your mobile.
