Withdrawal Conditions Under Tier – I & II Account
Although there are multiple options through which you can open an NPS account. The two most important ones are Tier – I & II. Following are the NPS withdrawal rules for these two accounts:
1) Tier-I Withdrawal: Prior to 2011, the lock-in period was till the age of 60. But after reviewing the pension fund regulatory and development authority bill, the committee agreed on enabling subscribers for premature withdrawals in the form of repayable advance but only under the condition that – the investor completes 15 years of service. Investor can also withdraw up to 50% of contribution after he/she serves minimum 25 years of service. Withdrawals can be done when faced with unforeseen life events such as critical illnesses and emergencies.
