FAQs

Does NPS Tier 2 have the same tax benefit as NPS Tier 1?

Do not assume so. Tier 2 liquidity and tax treatment differ from Tier 1 and can depend on investor category and current rules.

Are the entered tax rates applied to the whole corpus?

No. This simplified model applies each entered rate only to estimated gains, not to contributed principal.
