How your NPS corpus grows

Corpus at each age until 60, split into your contributions and the returns they earn.

Invested
Returns

Every ₹1 you contribute becomes ₹7.31 by 60

Returns make up 86% of the final corpus. That share depends heavily on time, so the earlier you start, the more of your pension comes from compounding rather than your own pocket.

What you receive at 60

The corpus is split between a tax-free withdrawal and an annuity that pays your pension.

Lump sum withdrawal60%
Annuity purchase40%

Tax-free lump sum (60%)Withdrawn at 60: ₹84,25,006
Annuity purchase (40%)Earns 6% a year: ₹56,16,671
Annual pension: ₹3,37,000
Monthly pension for life: ₹28,083

The cost of starting later

Comparison: monthly pension at 60 if the same ₹5,000 contribution starts at each age.

Waiting five years, until 33, would cut the pension to ₹16,594 a month.

NPS milestones

Every five years: what you will have invested, the corpus, and the pension it would buy.

What is the National Pension System (NPS)?

The National Pension System is a government-sponsored retirement savings scheme regulated by PFRDA. It combines equity and fixed-income investing with very low fund management costs.

Corpus = P × [ (1 + i)ⁿ − 1 ] ÷ i × (1 + i)

P: Monthly contribution
i: Monthly rate = expected return ÷ 12 ÷ 100
n: Months until age 60

Monthly pension = Corpus × annuity share × annuity rate ÷ 12

Tax benefits

Section 80CCD(1B): an additional deduction of up to ₹50,000, over and above the ₹1.5 lakh Section 80C limit.
Tax-free lump sum at 60: up to 60% of the total corpus can be withdrawn tax-free at age 60. The remaining 40% (or more) buys an annuity that pays a lifelong pension.
