Government Extends Additional NPS Investment Options to Central Autonomous Bodies
The government has extended two additional investment options under the National Pension System (NPS) to employees of central autonomous bodies. These include the Aggressive Life Cycle Fund (LC-75-High) with up to 75% equity exposure for long-term growth, and the Balanced Life Cycle Fund with a 50% equity cap that gradually reduces equity allocation from age 45. This extension aims to enhance flexibility and align pension investments with individual risk preferences and retirement goals.
