National Pension System (NPS) is a government-sponsored pension scheme. The scheme allows a person to contribute regularly to a pension account during their working life. On retirement, the person can withdraw a part of the corpus in a lump sum and use the remaining corpus to buy an annuity to secure a regular income after retirement. NRIs can also invest in the NPS, under the Foreign Exchange Management Act. NPS will allow NRIs to invest in a mix of equities and debt and save for their retirement and it can be done online too.
