@eluid Talk to your employer. If they have an option to invest in NPS (emplyer contribution with no obligation by employee to match it), then you must take it .
it will reduce your tax liability as well and your money will grow.
Just for a comparison, the XIRR for last FY in equity (70%) in...
@eluid EPF and PPF are still considered as very good investments. EPF is generally much more relaxed and the interest rate is always more than 8%. It is generally easy to withdraw (despite the bad news recently).
PPF is a bit more tight but it is an EEE investment. Despite the 15 years lock...
@theloverofgod woah woah woah! All because of NPS :D :D

@theloverofgod You can't change it once your employment has been started.

@greensquirrel If the payment to AMC was made before 2pm, it would be counted in this year and today's NAV will be applicable

Only Employer contributions (upto 7.5L in a year) are exempted from tax calculation
@sonofzion
