NPS is a contribution scheme launched by the Indian government. This scheme offers a large variety of investment options to employees. It is supports individuals in regards to where they invest their pension wealth.

Main objective of NPS is to lower the liabilities of the government with regards to total pension, even as it ensures citizens earn a stable income following their retirement. NPS is an helping hand to those individuals who do not want to take risk and earn decent returns on their investment. Anyone can open an NPS account right from starting age of 18 up till 60 years.

With the introduction of eNPS, opening this scheme account is easy - you can do it in just 30 minutes. A Unique Permanent Retirement Account Numbers (PRAN) is sanctioned to each subscriber under this scheme during the time of joining. Not only this, individuals are allocated two accounts, which can be easily accessed at any given time.

One can begin their investment in NPS with a minimum amount of Rs 500 at the time of opening the account. It needs to be noted that, the NPS account matures when the subscriber reaches retirement.

An individual can withdraw 60% of the corpus on maturity and the remaining 40% is used to purchase annuities.

NPS also allows tax benefit, under section 80C of the Income Tax Act.

Because the NPS invests subscriber’s money into a broad range of investment options, the scheme does not have a specific interest rate.

Interestingly, the NPS has a potential to provide interest rate anywhere between 8% to a whopping 14% interest -  very much on the higher side when taking other investment options into consideration.

However, that requires some hard work, and as far as you are concerned, all you need is to invest Rs 5000 every month. Here's how this will turn into a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for you.

Let’s say, at the age of 25, you began investing Rs 5,000 every month in NPS at interest rate of 8%, for a retirement period of 35 years. This means you invested about Rs 21 lakh over the next 35 years.
