Traditionally, India has been a "pension-less" country, with only government employees receiving a safe source of income to maintain their quality of life after retirement. Employees in the private sector, as well as self-employed professionals, were required to plan their own retirement. The government aspires to make India a "pensioned" society by implementing the National Pension Scheme, which would give financial security to all citizens in their golden years. The National Pension System, a government retirement plan, is overseen by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). The NPS is open to all Indian nationals (residents and non-residents) between the ages of 18 and 65. Continue reading for more information about NPS registration and login.

Employees are encouraged to contribute to a pension account on a monthly basis while they are employed. When subscribers retire, they can withdraw a portion of the corpus. If you have an NPS account and retire, the money will be sent to you as a monthly pension.
