National Pension System Updates, Performance, and Trader Pension Scheme Reviewed
The National Pension System (NPS) faces scrutiny over recent performance and benefits. Equity funds showed negative returns amid weak markets, but experts advise patience given NPS's long-term nature. The NPS for Traders offers a fixed monthly pension of ₹3,000 after 60, which experts say is insufficient alone due to inflation and rising expenses. Updates to NPS include revised Point of Presence charges and added health coverage, aiming to improve subscriber experience and fund management.
