Let us tell you that on the other hand, the Pension Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) is also considering making changes in the rules of the National Pension Scheme.
The Pension Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) wants to make some changes regarding the National Pension Scheme during the second half of this financial year. In such a situation, preparations are going on that once the current withdrawal system is changed, permission can be given to withdraw 60 percent of the total deposited amount in a systematic manner. Pension Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) wants that the system of withdrawal of funds should be better so that people do not face any problem in withdrawal.
This means that in the National Pension Scheme, instead of lump sum withdrawal after retirement, up to 60 percent of the amount will be allowed to be withdrawn in a systematic manner till the age of 75 years. Whereas 40 percent amount will have to be invested in annuity.
According to the Pension Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), preparations are underway to launch this scheme from the second half of this financial year. In such a situation, customers can set a time limit for withdrawal of this 60 percent amount and apart from lump sum withdrawal, they can also withdraw it in installments as per their convenience.
