NPS Vatsalya FAQs

NPS Vatsalya is a dedicated pension initiative regulated by PFRDA that allows parents or legal guardians to open retirement savings accounts for minor children.

All minor Indian citizens, NRIs, and OCI cardholders aged below 18 years are eligible.

The account is opened and operated by the parent or legally recognized guardian on behalf of the minor until the child reaches age 18.

The minimum opening and annual subsequent contribution is ₹250, with no upper limit on maximum contributions.

Upon turning 18, the subscriber completes a fresh KYC procedure, updates nominee details, and the account converts into a standard adult NPS Tier I account.

The account can continue under NPS Vatsalya terms up to age 21, after which it automatically transitions into the NPS All-Citizen model.

Yes, partial withdrawals up to 25% of guardian contributions are allowed after 3 years for specific needs such as higher education, specified illness treatment, or 75%+ disability.

A maximum of 2 partial withdrawals are allowed up to age 18, and up to 2 additional partial withdrawals are permitted between ages 18 and 21.

If the accumulated corpus is ₹8 Lakhs or less upon turning 18, 100% can be withdrawn as a lump sum. If the corpus exceeds ₹8 Lakhs, at least 80% must be used for purchasing an annuity, and up to 20% can be taken as a lump sum.

The surviving legal guardian can continue operating the account. If both parents pass away, a court-appointed legal guardian maintains the account until the subscriber reaches 18.
