National Pension Scheme (NPS) - Good option for retirement with tax saving

When I opted for National Pension Scheme(NPS) 3 years back, the main purpose was to save tax. Yes, NPS help us reduce tax liability but it also gives you option for some pension option after retirement. There are benefits as well as drawbacks of NPS which i would like to explain. It will help someone to decide when he/she plans to opt for NPS.

Person between age 18 to 60 can join NPS scheme.

How it works:
There are 2 ways you can open NPS account.
1. Through Employer
2. Self

1. Through Employer: Contribution of up to 10% of your basic salary. Entire amount is exempted and will not be included in Taxable income.

2. Self: You can open NPS account in with any of the NPS POP-SP (Point of presence - Service provider). Steps to open NPS account is available on NPS website at https://www.npscra.nsdl.co.in/steps-to-join-nps.php

Don't worry of these complex terms like POP-SP, Almost all well known banks are NPS service providers so you can go to any bank and collect NPS account opening form.
You can also download form from NPS website at
https://npscra.nsdl.co.in/subscribers-corner-form.php

There are 2 types of account option
1. Tier 1 which is default and mandatory. All tax benefits are applicable to Tier 1 investments.
2. Tier 2 which is optional.

When you contribute your money in NPS account, it is distributed into 3 types of Fund.

1. Type E - Equity
2. Type C - Corporate bonds
3. Type G - Government bonds

You will choose percentage of distribution in each fund at the time of account opening.

You have to also select pension fund manager at the time of account opening.
Here is list of Pension Fund managers:

  • UTI Retirement Solutions
  • HDFC Pension Fund
  • ICICI Prudential Pension Fund
  • Kotak Pension Fund
  • Reliance Capital Pension Fund
  • SBI Pension Funds
  • LIC Pension Fund
  • Birla Sun Life Pension Management Ltd
You can compare past performance of these funds before selecting your option.

Tax benefits:
1. Employer contribution which is 10% of your Basic is tax free under Section 80CCD(2).
2. Additional contribution of Rs. 50000/- under section 80CCD(1B).

These are few basic things to know while investing in NPS. 
I will give more details in about it in another post.

Systematic Investment in Mutual Funds

How to start mutual fund SIP online (without any agent)?
Many of us think on buying a mutual fund and their assumption is that if we buy it online, there will be no commission. There are many sites which says they are channel for online mutual fund purchase. All this is just a marketing strategy to attract small investors like us.
So which is the best option to start a Mutual fund SIP?
There are different categories of mutual funds like LargeCap, Small & Mid Cap, Diversified, Sectorial, ELSS.
If tax saving under Income tax section 80C is not the purpose of your investment, then that is good point to start with.
First and most important suggestion is that Don't invest in too many funds. 5-8 mutual funds of different categories are enough.

Do some research and finalize the mutual fund in which you are planning to start SIP.
There are many ways to finalize good mutual fund.

Assume that you have Rs.10,000 to invest in Mutual fund through SIP every month.
What you should do next?
1. Do not invest in single fund.
2. Do not invest in funds of only one category.
3. Best ways to invest is divide your investment amount as 40% in Largecap, 30% in Mid & smallcap, 20% in diversified, 10 % in Sectoreal. (You can decide on percentage)
4. Sectorial funds are more risky so keep track of that fund and you can switch/move funds between different sectors but don't do it more than once per two years.

Where to Invest
Division of your 10000/- will be
1. 4000/- in LargeCap - Choose 1 or 2 good performing Funds
2. 3000/- in Mid & SmallCap - Choose 1 or 2 good funds
3. 2000/- in Diversified - Choose one good fund
4. 1000/- in Sector fund - Choose one good fund

So you will invest in around 4 to 6 mutual funds only.
If you feel that your fund is not performing good enough, you can change fund but it should not be done before analyzing your SIP returns for at least 15 months.


How to Invest
Go to mutual fund website and there is option for online investment option.
Choose Direct plan of mutual fund
There is no agent commission in Direct plan so you will find difference in NAV of Direct and regular plan of same mutual fund.


Difference between Direct and Regular plan of Mutual Fund

Direct plan : You subscribe directly without agent. Expense ratio is less than regular plan.
Regular : Subscribed through agent.
