National Pension System Expands Annuity Options and Introduces 100% Equity Investment
The National Pension System (NPS) is undergoing significant changes to enhance retirement planning options. Subscribers must use at least 20% of their corpus to purchase an annuity, with various options offering different pension payouts and family benefits. From October 2025, the introduction of the Multiple Scheme Framework will allow up to 100% equity investment for non-government subscribers, enabling more aggressive strategies to address longer retirements and inflation. These reforms aim to make NPS a more flexible and comprehensive retirement platform.
