All Indians between the age of 18 and 60 years as on the date of submission of application to Point of Presence (POP)/Point of Presence-Service Provider (POP-SP) can join NPS. Each subscriber is identified by a unique number and has a separate PRAN which is portable. While the employee contribution up to 10% of basic plus dearness allowance (DA) is eligible for deduction under Section 80CCD within the Rs 1 lakh limit, the employer's contribution up to 10% of basic plus DA is eligible for deduction under Section 80CCE over and above the Rs 1 lakh limit.
The NPS Scheme offers two accounts: Tier I account – it is also known as Pension Account. Withdrawal from this account is restricted till the subscriber attains the age 60 years. Minimum yearly contribution requirement in this account is Rs 6, 000; and Tier II account – it is a normal investment account. Withdrawal from this account can be done as per the need of the subscriber. Minimum yearly contribution requirement in this account is Rs 250. An active Tier I account is mandatory for opening Tier II account.
