What pension will I get from NPS if I exit today?

Published: April 29, 2024 at 6:00 am

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!

Annuity Options available:

We shall only show the joint life annuity with and without ROP.

The regulator wants to come up with special rates for NPS subscribers soon. As mentioned above, this can easily be accomplished if NPS subscribers can buy government bonds.

Most investor problems can be traced to a lack of informed decision-making. We made bad decisions and money mistakes when we started earning and spent years undoing these mistakes. Why should our children go through the same pain? What is this book about? As parents, what would it be if we had to groom one ability in our children that is key not only to money management and investing but to any aspect of life? My answer: Sound Decision Making. So, in this book, we meet Chinchu, who is about to turn 10. What he wants for his birthday and how his parents plan for it, as well as teaching him several key ideas of decision-making and money management, is the narrative. What readers say!
