Impact of Pausing Contributions on National Pension System Accounts and Returns
The National Pension System (NPS) allows subscribers to pause contributions temporarily without withdrawing the accumulated corpus, which continues to earn market-linked returns. While contributions can be stopped for months or years due to financial reasons, the account remains active if minimum annual contributions are met; otherwise, it may become dormant but can be reactivated by fresh contributions. The retirement corpus value fluctuates with market performance, and stopping contributions may reduce the final corpus size but does not halt investment growth.
