The government and pension regulator PFRDA plan to introduce NPS Vatsalya Soon.
What is NPS Vatsalya?
Purpose: It is part of the government’s broader effort to encourage early financial planning and savings, ensuring a secure financial future for the next generation.
NPS Vatsalya will be a modified version of the National Pension System (NPS) specifically designed for minors.
Features:
Early Start: It will allow parents/guardians to open an NPS account for their children/wards and contribute regularly towards a savings pool until the minor turns 18.
Account Conversion: When the minor turns 18, the account can be converted into a regular NPS account. Then, the beneficiary will have the autonomy to manage the account and decide on the investment strategy.
Minimum Investment: Parents can start with a modest monthly contribution of Rs. 500 or an annual contribution of Rs. 6,000.
