According to tax and investment affairs expert Balwant Jain, both National Pension System (NPS) and Public Provident Fund (PPF) are long-term investment products. However, these two schemes provide different benefits to the investors. NPS is purely a retirement scheme. The NPS fund matures with the retirement of the investor. With this, there is no tax on the 60 percent amount due to maturity of this fund. At the same time, the remaining 40 percent has to be invested in an Annuity Plan. Income from annuity is to be taxed later on slab rate basis. In this way, income from NPS is not completely tax free. NPS provides a higher tax benefit of up to Rs 50,000 under Section 80CCD.
