flag India updates NPS rules: non-government subscribers can now withdraw up to 80% at exit, with annuity requirement cut to 20%.

flag India's National Pension System (NPS) has updated its rules effective December 16, 2025, allowing non-government subscribers to withdraw up to 80% of their retirement corpus as a lump sum at exit, down from the previous 60% limit. flag The mandatory annuity purchase requirement has been reduced from 40% to 20% for most cases, with subscribers able to withdraw 100% if their corpus is up to ₹8 lakh. flag Higher balances allow partial withdrawals with annuity or systematic payout options. flag The exit age has been extended to 85, and the five-year lock-in for non-government subscribers has been removed. flag Government employees still face a five-year lock-in and must use 40% of their corpus above ₹5 lakh for annuities. flag The tax treatment of the additional 20% withdrawal remains unclear, with experts noting it may be taxable under current laws.
