0:00 / 0:00

Investing in the right scheme to ensure that your post-retirement life is safe is no longer a distant dream. There are numerous options which you can explore to create a sizable corpus and live a peaceful retirement life. 

One such scheme is the national pension scheme provided by the State Bank of India. Although at the time of its launch, the scheme was available only for government employees, now any person meeting the eligibility criteria can invest in the national pension scheme of the State Bank of India.

If you plan to invest in a scheme that builds a sizable corpus for your post-retirement life, then the SBI national pension scheme is worth exploring. Let’s delve into the details of the SBI National Pension Scheme.

Key Features of SBI NPS

The SBI national pension scheme is worth investing in while you are still working to ensure that you have financial security even after retirement. Let’s take a look at the key features of the SBI NPS that will get you on board:   

  • Regular Pension on Retirement

One of the key benefits of investing in the SBI NPS is that you are promised a pension on retirement without having to continue the investment. Simply put, what you invest when you are still working turns into a sizeable corpus when your regular income flow is absent.

  • Low-Cost Pension Scheme

Another feature that you must know before investing in SBI NPS is that it promises cost-effectiveness. Under the SBI national pension scheme, you can create two types of accounts: Tier-1 and Tier-2. To create a Tier-1 account you have to invest a minimum of ₹ 500 and to create a Tier-2 account you have to invest a minimum of ₹ 2000 only. 

  • Tax Benefits on Investments

The SBI NPS comes with multiple tax benefits. Here’s everything you need to know about tax benefits under the SBI NPS:1

  • For Self-Employed Individuals: 20% of gross income invested is eligible for tax deductions under section 80CCD (1) of the Income Tax Act, subject to a maximum of ₹1.5 lakh.

  • For investments up to ₹50,000, there are tax deductions under section 80CCD(1B). Know that, this benefit is over and above the ₹1.5 lakh limit of Section 80CCE.

  • For Salaried Individuals: Investments up to 10% of Salary in the scheme are eligible for tax deductions under section 80C of the Income Tax Act,  subject to a maximum of ₹1.5 lakhs. 

  • For investments up to ₹50,000, there are tax deductions under section 80CCD(1B). Know that this benefit is over and above the ₹1.5 lakh limit of Section 80CCE.

  • Diversification for Risk Management

One of the key features of SBI NPS is that the funds you invest are spread across different asset classes to ensure diversification that helps in risk mitigation. For instance: There are four kinds of investment funds that you can invest through the scheme; Asset classes A, C, E and G. Now you can choose to either actively invest in different asset classes or opt for an auto investment under which your fund will be spread across various asset classes. 

  • Portfolio Management

Investing in the SBI NPS is ideal if you do not want to constantly engage in active analysis of the market. The scheme provides professional fund managers to spread your funds across promising asset classes. You can either choose from the fund managers under SBI or other available options. Additionally, you also have the option to switch your fund manager and investment fund as per your requirements.
