The rule of NPS has changed

What is PRAN, what will happen now
Under NPS, subscribers are given Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN). Which is unique. Subscribers can have an active PRAN at one time and hence they can open a new account after closing their existing NPS account. Under the NPS, the subscriber can choose premature exit (withdrawing money before the age of 60), or upon receiving the final exit or superannuation at the age of 60, or at any later time according to the regulation.
In case of premature exit, up to 20% of the pension corpus deposited in PRAN can be withdrawn as a lump sum and the balance (80% or more) is used to purchase the Annuity plan from the Annuity Service Provider (ASP) as reported by PFRDA Will go. At the same time, now the regulator said that nowadays PFRDA is getting a lot of requests from the subscribers who have withdrawn their lump sum amount but have not taken the annuity till now and those subscribers have decided to continue the NPS account after that.

Who can join NPS
Any salaried person between the age of 18 to 60 can join NPS. There are two types of accounts in NPS: Tier-I and Tier-II.

If the annuity rate is 8 percent, after the age of 60, a pension of 61 thousand rupees will be made every month. Also, a separate fund of Rs 23 lakh.
