The Budget provides a tax benefit on NPS investments but has done nothing to address a long standing problem. Under the current rules, the NPS corpus is taxable at the time of withdrawal. That means the 60% of the corpus you are allowed to take out at the age of 60 will be taxable. This needs to be fixed to provide a level playing field to the NPS. Other retirement options such as PPF and Provident Fund are tax free on withdrawal. Even insurance policies give tax free income under Sec 10 (10d).
The other problem is that of compulsory annuities. Up to 40% of the corpus must be used to buy an annuity that gives monthly income to the investor. This is a big put off for investors because the annuity market in India is not very developed. Annuity rates are not attractive and the income is also taxable.
