“If a person joins the NPS at the age of 25 and starts contributing Rs 6,500 a month. The total contribution will be Rs 27.30 lakh till the time of retirement. Given the expected 10 per cent return annually, the total investment will grow to Rs 2.46 crore. Now, if the NPS subscriber converts 40 per cent of the corpus into an annuity, the value will be Rs 99.53 lakh. Assuming the annuity rate of 10 per cent, the monthly pension can be Rs 49,768. Not only this, the NPS subscriber will get a lump sum amount of about Rs 1.50 crore,” as per New18.
