NPS Tier1 CC reward points?

Hi, 

I am thinking to create NPS account for first time to save taxes and invest 50k for this year before 31st March


I know that NPS allow CC payment. The cost comes around 0.9% + GST = 1.062%

I wanted to know if I get rewards points for NPS payment? 

I have a spend based offer on my card for 40k+ = 800

If I get reward points on ICICI platinum card. Then it might make sense to pay via CC. (payment amount = 50k)

Have got rewards points for IDFC credit card. Sorry not sure about ICICI. Also if it is spend based offer, better to check with customer care since TnC might be different

PS: Contributed to Tier 1. Not sure if that makes a difference

I used amex (this year) and hdfc (last year) to utilise spend based reward successfully.
They won’t block account on 50k spends(I’m using mix of amex and hdfc from last 3 years for 50 to 60k/year for nps). Loads of people were misusing it to rotate money using tier 2 accounts who got banned.
Never tried ICICI as rewards points are pretty less even to cover the transaction charge normally.

Not related to the original question but if you are looking for some related discussion recently at https://www.desidime.com/discussions/nps-accoun...

Have invested 50K per year for Section 80 CCD ( 1B ) and 10% if basic salary if salaried employee and employer supports it( in addition to EPF) under Section 80 CCD ( 2 )

As others mentioned, it is a long term investment and mostly available at annuity period. Have active choice with 70( E ), 20( G ), 10( C ) currently and probably returned 15% XIRR in last 5 years

Also I think you can do minimum investment of Rs. 500 in Tier 1 in case you want to not contribute in between for any reason and there is Tier 2 too though without tax benefits and just to explore

Just sharing my 2 cents. Sorry again if not relevant to your original question.

@Random123 Is 10% of basic, which is employer contribution under Section 80CCD(2), over and above the 1.5L of Section80C and 50k of Section 80CCD(1B)?

Hi, sorry if I wasn’t clear. Have been doing nps contribution by employer for last couple of years, hence mentioned it

So total tax benefits only from NPS

= 50k + contribution from employer

(Btw, do i need to match employer contribution as the case in EPF?)

Do you have screenshot? I did not face any issues after successful registration. After successful registration, you have to wait for a day or 2 to receive your credentials and then complete the rest.

I think axis fk gives 1.5% and az icici gives 1% while amex mrcc should also consider general reward points. Sorry not sure about indusind legend
