For making an exit or for making withdrawal from an NPS account, PFRDA (Exits and Withdrawals under NPS) Regulations, 2015 and its amendments are to be looked at. For premature exit, normal exit and exit due to unfortunate death of the subscriber, there are certain predefined conditions which need to be met.
If you want to know when can one withdraw money from NPS account, read on to know the rules. At the time of exit from NPS, when the account matures, the NPS subscriber is allowed to withdraw a certain percentage of the corpus while on the balance there is compulsory annuity or pension till lifetime. The pension is to be received from life insurance companies or the Annuity Service Providers (ASP) empaneled by PFRDA. However, there is an exception and there are certain instances wherein the corpus in the PRAN is paid to the subscriber or the beneficiary by way of lump sum without mandating them to buy annuity. In such a case, there is no restriction for any NPS subscriber to buy annuity from the corpus partly or fully.
