NPS is a long-term retirement planning scheme governed by the PFRDA and the Central Government. It ensures pension after retirement for individuals working in both private and public sectors. Once you become an NPS subscriber, it’s crucial to check the balance regularly to ensure you are on the right path to achieving your retirement goals. The NPS account balance depends on two factors: your voluntary annual contributions to the NPS account and the returns from investing 40% of the corpus in annuities.

Moreover, you can only withdraw money from your NPS account for specific reasons, such as children's education, wedding, medical treatment, or house purchase.
