What this actually means at 60
You can take ₹1.37Cr as a tax-free lump sum. The remaining ₹91.17L must buy an annuity — this is not optional — which pays roughly ₹45,587 a month before tax. Annuity income is taxable at your slab rate.

The annuity rate is what an insurer will offer decades from now. Nobody knows it. Treat it as an assumption to stress-test, not a number to rely on.
Corpus build-up
You contribute ₹36.00L and end with ₹2.28Cr — ₹1.92Cr of that is growth.
What this calculation assumes
- •At 60, 60% of the corpus may be withdrawn as a tax-free lump sum and 40% must buy an annuity. This split is a statutory requirement.
- •The annuity rate is an assumption about a future insurer quote, not a guarantee.
- •Annuity income is taxable at your slab rate in the year you receive it.
- •Employer contributions under 80CCD(2) are not modelled separately — include them in your monthly figure if applicable.
- •Returns are constant. Actual NPS returns vary with your chosen equity, corporate debt and government securities mix.
Illustrative only. These figures assume constant rates and do not predict actual returns. Markets, taxes and inflation vary. This is educational information, not financial advice — consult a SEBI-registered adviser before making investment decisions.
