As we know HDFC/Axis and other banks do cancel the credit card for misuse using NPS.

But I want to know how much is too much investment into NPS using credit card (Please not I am talking about genuine investment and not money rotation ).

I personally have been doing close to 70K a year without any issue so far.

There is a 0.75% charge right @Sudarshan61

I don’t think there’s any loop. It cc reward points/cashback only. I used axis ace which gives 2% cashback for nps. So effectively saving 1% after approx 1% charge. I used to do 10k per month for nps1 only and obviously 50k annually. For nps2, I never used credit card.

Thanks bro, will explore that option if possible, by loop I meant, some savings without incurring charges, this should do it.

I do transfer 25k at a time (based on spend based offers on card) to my nps tier 2 (later convert 50k to tier 1 for tax purposes) account totalling to roughly 1 lakh a year (spread accross 2-3 cards based on offers). Never had any issue from last 3 years.

How do you convert 50k later to Tier1 from initial Tier 2 investment? @pankajsammal

I recently opened my nps account in SBI via netbanking. I’m not clear on the next set of instructions. Do I need to submit the form with photograph and other KYC docs to NSDL, Mumbai office?
This is written in the form that I downloaded after registration:
The form should be sent within 30 days from the date of registration at the following address or else the PRAN will be ‘frozen’ temporarily.
Central Recordkeeping Agency
NSDL e-Governance Infrastructure Limited, 1st Floor, Times Tower,
Kamala Mills Compound, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai – 400 013
The envelope containing the form and other supporting documents must clearly be labelled as “NPS Registration form – SBI Internet Banking”. Please Note: The form does not require any verification by SBI branch and needs to be directly sent to NSDL office as above.

Any guidance will be helpful.

@pankajsammal @Sudarshan61 For tax purposes, do we have to put 50k in Tier1 & show it or we can put a combination of amount in Tier 1&2 ?
Is there any check from IT deptt. for an individual’s PRAN that 50k has to be there in Tier1 specifically?

Benevolent Benevolent

Has to be Tier 1.

IT dept has all details, dont try to be smart

can i self contribute 10% of basic and claim tax benefit under 80CCD(2) if employer is not doing (don’t hv policy).

No you can’t claim in 80CCD(2).
and anyways anything above 50k in NPS is deducted from your 80C limit which I don’t think is a good idea as 80C has more flexibility for you to invest.
