Meaning of NPS

NPS or National Pension Scheme is a voluntary scheme, often for long periods, wherein members make contributions, and in return, they get regular pensions after retirement.
It is an initiative taken by the central government of India. It is open to all kinds of employees, whether from public, private, or unorganized sectors. However, this does not cover employees from the armed forces.

How does it work?

Employees from all sectors, whether private, public or unorganized sectors, are motivated to save a part of their salary towards the pension scheme.
Once members reach their retirement age, they are eligible to withdraw 60% of the amount from the corpus accumulated. The rest of the money is used to buy an annuity plan that takes care of regular pensions.

Who should invest in NPS?

Anyone eligible to subscribe to the scheme who is willing to save for retirement and has low to moderate risk tolerance.
Usually, there are schemes for employees in the public sector. But the National Pension Scheme is best suited for the ones in the private and unorganized sectors.
Applicants must be above 18 years of age and below 65 years of age to be eligible for the scheme. And anyone interested is required to fulfil KYC requirements.

NPS tax benefit

A deduction of ₹1.5 lakhs can be claimed for applicants' and their employers' contributions towards the scheme.
For salaried people: Salaried people can claim up to 10% of their salary under section 80CCD (1). Additionally, ₹50,000 can be invested to claim tax deductions under section 80CCD (1B).
For self-employed individuals: Self-employed individuals can claim up to 20% of their gross incomes. A maximum of ₹1.5 lakhs is allowed for tax deduction under section 80CCD (1).
Additionally, ₹50,000 can be invested to claim tax deductions under section 80CCD (1B).

Types of NPS accounts

There are two types of NPS accounts available to choose from for all investors. These are tier I and tier II accounts.
Tier 1 account: It is compulsory to open a Tier I account to invest money in NPS. One can open an NPS account with a low amount of Rs 500. The minimum contribution in a financial year is Rs. 1000. There are certain limitations to withdrawals from this account.
Tier 2 account: One can open a tier 2 account after opening a Tier 1 account. Investors are eligible to redeem their investments anytime from this account. Though the mandatory deposit of ₹1000 is applicable while opening the account. There is no minimum balance requirement. However, ₹250 is the minimum per contribution. You don't have to invest a certain amount each year to keep your account active. You may choose to open this account at the time of opening a tier 1 account or later.

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) 2023 - Scheme & Benefits

The Indian economy, though more industrialized than before, is largely dependent on agriculture even today. Additionally, India has about 142 million hectares of cultivable land, of which only 45% is covered under artificial irrigation. The remaining 55% is dependent on monsoon rains for irrigation purposes, meaning delayed or low rainfall can cause serious damage to the crops grown on this land. What’s more, if there is a lack of monsoon rains, food prices skyrocket, and inflation may ensue. Yet, the government has often been negligent about the needs of the agricultural sector compared to other industries. This negligence came to a head in the fiscal year of 2014-15, when there was a 5.3% drop in foodgrain production. At the time and prior to that, news of farmers committing suicide due to crop failure caused by a lack of rainfall and inadequate irrigation facilities was quite rampant. And while there have been many programs to improve this situation, none have been as successful as the latest one launched by the Modi government in 2015. It is called the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY).
