Question 7

What is the difference between NPS and PPF for retirement planning in India?

Accepted Answer

NPS (National Pension System) is a market-linked scheme with equity and debt allocation options, suited for building a long-term corpus with partial annuity at retirement. PPF (Public Provident Fund) is a government-backed fixed-return scheme with a 15-year lock-in and tax-free maturity — better for risk-averse savers. Most financial planners recommend using both in parallel for a balanced retirement strategy.
