To Ask; if crowd is in decent number
How many are NPS subscribers?
How many Govt. Subs?
How many came to know through alerts (sms/email)?

Instruction: Don’t speak much about stakeholders, just give a brief introduction
Speak about unbundled architecture
NPS works on an unbundled architecture wherein different entities come under one umbrella to operationalize NPS system.
Each entity is given the responsibility based on their core competence.
Each entity has limited access to data, based on the responsibility it performs
Under the architecture, each and every entity who is part of the system, is governed by Service level agreement with PFRDA.
Speak about Importance of CRA
CRA is a repository of data, forms and KYC documents
CRA provides the operational platform connecting all the entities
Support system for all the stakeholders
Instruction: We have to place this as how NPS is different.
We have to say here that account opening has been extended to 65. However, who joined before 60, for exit will be at 60 only. Those who joined after 60, can enjoy the benefits till 70.
Explain Unique & Portability of PRAN. Cite examples of Inter sector Shifting scenarios.
The NPS provides the subscriber with an option to have two types of accounts, one is pension or Tier I account and second is Investment account ie Tier II. We will discuss about Investment account in details in subsequent slide.
NPS also provides, option to withdraw from pension account in case of emergencies. Withdrawal will be allowed maximum three times after 3 years in NPS.
NPS provides to continue the account even after the age of 60. Subscriber can decide to continue or exit from NPS. In case of exit, a portion of the holding needs to utilize to purchase annuity from empaneled ASP. The rest can be withdrawn in lump sum. We will discuss in detail in subsequent slide that how a subscriber will get pension..
Explain Tax benefit in Detail:
The contribution made in the scheme (NPS Tier I) qualifies for deduction u/s 80C .
Apart from this, an additional deduction for the investment up to Rs. 50,000 in NPS (Tier I account) has been exclusively available for NPS under subsection 80CCD (1B). This is over and above the deduction of Rs. 1.5 lakh available under sec 80C.
No tax incidence in case of change of PFM or asset classes contrary to mutual fund wherein tax will be levied even you switch schemes within the AMC.
This slide shows that how a employed subscriber can take benefit of mandatory contribution to NPS up to Rs 50,000, if the benefits under 80CCE is already utilised.
Here, we have to add that Non-Government subscriber can save 20% of gross income up to 2 lakhs (combindly) under NPS.
Instruction:
If required, We can show the PFM list, given as hyperlink (Eight PFMs-select any one).
We will not go in detail about asset classes as well as the different flavours of Auto Choice.
In this slide, we have to explain:
Who will invest your money
What are the investment choices (not for Gov. subscriber, so, don’t stress if crowd mix is inclined to Gov. sector.)
Active choice: You can decide by own that where (in which asset classes) your money will get invested
Auto Choice: In Auto choice investment will be based on Life-stage investing, wherein your money will automatically shifted from equities to debt on closer to the age of 60.
How will a subscriber exercise the investment options
All are established Fund houses, Explain the power of liberty to choose your own PFM
We will say this is not, as of now, available for Government subscriber. However, they can exercise this option for Investment account, which we shall discuss later.
Subscriber can change PFM once and investment choice twice in FY. Emphasize that, There is no tax implication when you switch PFM as well as asset classes in NPS.
In this slide, we have to explain the options available at the age of 60 or at the time of retirement.
We have to reiterate that options at the age of 60 are available only to those who joined before 60. Those who joined after 60 can enjoy the benefit till 70.
Option 1: if you want to contribute and remain invested in NPS you can choose the first option.
Option 2 : if you want to defer the decision of annuity purchase / lumpsum withdrawal, you can exercise the option 2. आप इस option द्वारा पेंशन शुरू कर किश्तों में भी अपना lumpsum amount निकल सकते है.
Option 3: In case, you want to exit from NPS and start your pension, please choose option no. 3.
To explain the exit process please click on given hyperlink (process).
Explain in brief about exit before 60 and death cases, once back from slide of exit process.
Instruction: This the only slide where we have to talk about Tier II and place it as investment account.
We have to speak that till now we have discussed about pension account and now we will see the benefits of Investment account ie Tier II account.
Please note:
Emphasis will be on the word Investment account
We will say that whenever you have extra cash flow, you can put this in Tier II
Mention the flexible usage of money from the account, you can withdraw at any point of time, transfer to pension account
You can utilize the saving in children's Marriage / Education, etc emphasize that subscriber can utilize the funds whenever it is needed
Pitch why it is smarter to park excess amount in Tier II account instead in Bank as the interest rates are going down
No tax incidence in case of change of PFM or asset classes contrary to mutual fund wherein tax will be levied even you switch schemes within the AMC.
Also brief how to open this Investment account.
We will say, for Govt. subscribers, their colleagues who are not part of NPS are getting around 8% in GPF and you can see the returns of NPS.
The government schemes have less than 10% in equity still have generated around 10% return.
