A reader asks, “What are the current NPS Annuity Rates? How can I find the pension I will get for my corpus if I exit today?”
The NPS is a market-linked retirement product. The contributions are defined, but the benefits are not because the final corpus depends on market conditions. The NPS subscriber must buy an annuity from an insurer at exit with at least 40% of the corpus. The NPS regular has multiple options, discussed here:
In this article, we focus only on the annuity rates. Annuity rates are subject to change at least once a year. They depend on the age of the NPS subscriber and spouse and the corpus allocated for purchase. The annuity rates shown here are as of 30th March 2024. You can find the exact annuity rate for your circumstances via the NPS Annuity Quote Generator. Also, note that the rates may change from when you compute them to when you purchase!
AnnuityOptions available:
Joint Life Annuity without ROP – The subscriber will get an annuity for life. After this, the spouse will get the annuity for life.
We shall only show the joint life annuity with and without ROP.
Monthly annuity rates for a 60-year-old subscriber with a 58-year-old spouse and with a 50 Lakhs purchase price
