New Delhi The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority of India (PFRDA) is considering keeping 40 percent of the amount with the pension fund managers after retirement. Till now, customers with an amount of more than Rs 2 lakh at the time of retirement or attaining the age of 60 years, must compulsorily purchase annuities offered by insurance companies. The remaining 60 percent can be withdrawn outright.
Meaning if the money at the time of retirement of a customer is 2 lakh rupees or less, then it is not mandatory for that person to buy an annuity because the amount given as a monthly pension is very less.
At present, the National Pension System (NPS) is accumulating funds for a long time, after retirement at the age of 60, a person has to pay 40 percent of the amount to buy an annuity and the remaining amount is 60 percent as a lump sum. Can be extracted as.
