How does NPS work?

On successful enrollment under the National Pension System, the subscriber is allotted a Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN). Upon generation of PRAN, an SMS alert along with an e-mail alert is sent by NSDL-CRA (Central Record Keeping Agency) to the registered e-mail ID and mobile number of the subscribers. Subscribers make periodic and regular contributions to NPS during their working life to accumulate funds for retirement. On retirement or exit from the scheme, the fund is made available to the subscriber with the condition that a portion of the fund will be invested annually so as to provide him a monthly pension after exit from the scheme or retirement.
