A glance on “New Pension Scheme is the best retirement option”


The Indian population is greying. According to the latest UNFPA report, the percentage of Indians above 60 years is projected to rise to 55% by 2050. The demographics also indicate an increasing longevity owing to betterment in medical facilities. While this is good news, it also means that tomorrow’s retirees will have a longer retirement and must, therefore, accumulate a bigger corpus.

Retirement planning involves disciplined saving, vigilant investment to build a sufficient retirement corpus and its judicious drawdown in the postretirement phase. The National Pension System (NPS), launched by the Pension Fund Regulatory & Development Authority, takes all these concerns into account. It is a sophisticated innovation based on the world’s best practices in the pension sector.

While saving for a long-term goal such as retirement, the cost matters a lot. Over 35-40 years, the charges can shave off a significant amount from the corpus. The NPS charges fund management fees of 0.0102% for the government employees and there’s a ceiling of 0.25% for the private sector. This is perhaps the lowest in the world. Other charges are also low, making the cost-adjusted returns of the NPS quite attractive. It is estimated that the total cost of the NPS, including the fund management fee, will not exceed 0.5% per year, making it the cheapest financial product in India.

The NPS is a well-regulated, transparent and flexible scheme. It has laid down prudent investing norms for fund managers, and their performance and portfolios are regularly monitored by the NPS Trust under the overall supervision of the PFRDA. The scheme offers complete flexibility. The investor decides the percentage of the corpus that goes into equity, corporate bonds and government securities. There is only a 50% cap on exposure to equity.


One of the most outstanding features of the NPS is the ‘life cycle fund. It is meant for those who are not financially aware. It is also the default option for someone who has not indicated his desired allocation. Under this option, the investor’s age decides the equity exposure. The 50% allocation to equity is reduced every year by 2% after the investor turns 35, till it comes down to 10%. This is in keeping with the strategy to opt for a higher-risk , higher-return portfolio mix earlier in life. As the investor approaches retirement , he shifts to a more stable, low-risk portfolio.

This automatic rejigging of the allocation is a unique feature of the NPS. No other pension plan or mutual fund offers such a facility to investors. There are a few funds based on age, but they are one-size-fits-all solutions, not customised to the individual’s age.

Another unique feature of the NPS is the tax benefit it offers under the newly added Section 80 CCD(2). Under this section, if an employer contributes 10% of the salary (basic salary plus dearness allowance) to the NPS account of the employee, this amount gets tax exemption. This is over and above the 1 lakh tax deduction under Section 80C. It’s a win-win situation for both because the employer also gets tax benefit under Section 36 I (IV) A for his contribution. By putting in money in the NPS, the employer can provide an additional tax benefit to the employee by simply restructuring the salary at no extra cost.

The NPS allows one to accumulate the corpus from the age of 18 for 40-odd years. There is minimal leakage in the form of withdrawals for competing consumption expenses. This allows the investor to reap the benefits of compounding till he turns 60.

The NPS also offers the flexibility to draw up to 60% of the retirement corpus as a lump sum to meet financial life goals like children’s marriages, housing, or draw down the lump sum in a staggered manner till one is 70 years old. The rest can be used to buy an annuity from any of the seven Irda regulated annuity service providers.

Over a decade, Indian market is flooded with fake currency. But in last couple of years, there seems to be an increase in the inflow of fake currency from neighboring countries and now currency notes are closer you than you think. Check your wallet, here are some tips on detecting fake Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.

In the Middle of the vertical band at the extreme left is the denominational numeral ("500" in Rs 500 and "1000" in Rs 1000) printed as a floral design. One half of this numeral is printed on the obverse and the other half in reverse in such a way that the two printed portions have a perfectly accurate back-to-back registration and the numeral appears as one when viewed against light.

A circle (Rs 500 note) and diamond (Rs 1000 note) with intaglio print, which can be felt by touch, helps visually impaired to identify the denomination.


3. Watermark

A portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, multi-directional lines and an electrolyte mark showing the denominational numeral ("500" in Rs 500 note and "1000" in Rs 1000 note) appear in this section and can be viewed better when the note is held against light.


4. Optically variable ink

The colour of the numeral in the centre {"500" in Rs 500 note and "1000" in Rs 1000 note) appears green when the note is held flat but changes to blue when it is held at an angle. 


5. Intaglio Printing

A portrait of Mahatma Gandhi and the seal of Reserve Bank of India at the extreme right, the 'guarantee' and 'promise' clauses in the middle, the emblem of the Ashoka Pillar at the bottom left, the signature of the Governor of Reserve Bank of India below 'promise' clause and the identication mark for the visually impaired persons are all printed in intaglio and can be felt by touch.


6. Micro-lettering

The letters "RBI" and the numeral "500" (in Rs 500 note) and "1000" (in Rs 1000 note) can be viewed with the help of magnifying glass in the area between the Mahatma Gandhi portrait and the vertical band at the right.


7. Latent Image

The vertical band above the seal of the Reserve Bank of India contains a latent image of the numeral "500" (in Rs 500 note) and "1000" (in Rs 1000 note) when the note is held horizontally at eye-level.


8. Security Thread

A vertical, 3-mm-wide, security with the inscriptions ("
भारत" and "RBI" in Rs 500 note and "भारत", "RBI" and "1000" in Rs 1000 note) changes colour from green to blue when viewed from different angles. It will glow yellow on the reverse (back) and the next text will glow yellow on the obverse (front) under ultraviolet light. On the reverse, the thread is visible as an unbroken line when the note is held up against light.

Is it possible to get exchange value for the Fake/ Forged Notes which I have received unknowingly?
Being a forged note,  it has no value. It is your mistake to take that note  without proper checking. So you will not get anything. So better avoid Fake/Forged Notes in your transactions.
Note : If you know that the money  you received contains some Fake/Notes at later stage and if you  try to use it in some other transactions, it is a serious offense. You are subject to questionable and if found guilty you can be punished.

It is your mistake to take the money without checking it properly. So, you will not receive anything. It is your personal loss. Even though  you don’t receive anything, it is your duty  to provide information to the magistrate  or police officer and surrender those Fake Notes.

It is your duty to immediately report  to the nearest magistrate or police officer.
So, is it possible for us to avoid Fake/Forged Notes ?
Yes,  it is possible only when you make a habit of checking them at the received time.

Officials told not to act on oral orders from political executive


In major reform, SC orders fixed tenure for bureaucrats

To insulate the bureaucracy from political interference and to put an end to frequent transfers of civil servants by political bosses, the Supreme Court on Thursday directed the Centre and the States to set up a Civil Services Board (CSB) for the management of transfers, postings, inquiries, process of promotion, reward, punishment and disciplinary matters.

A Bench of Justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and Pinaki Chandra Ghose, giving a series of directions while disposing of a public interest writ petition — filed by former Union Cabinet Secretary T.S.R. Subramanian; former CECs T.S. Krishnamurthy and N. Gopalaswami; former Indian Ambassador to the U.S. Abid Hussain; former CBI Director Joginder Singh; former Manipur Governor Ved Prakash Marwah and 77 others — also said bureaucrats should not act on verbal orders given by politicians and suggested a fixed tenure for them.

Writing the judgment, Mr. Justice Radhakrishnan said “the CSB, consisting of high ranking service officers, who are experts in their respective fields, with the Cabinet Secretary at the Centre and Chief Secretary at the State level, could be a better alternative (till the Parliament enacts a law), to guide and advise the State government on all service matters, especially on transfers, postings and disciplinary action, etc., though their views also could be overruled, by the political executive, but by recording reasons, which would ensure good governance, transparency and accountability in governmental functions.”


The Bench asked Parliament to enact a Civil Services Act under Article 309 of the Constitution setting up a CSB, “which can guide and advise the political executive transfer and postings, disciplinary action, etc.” The Bench directed the Centre, State governments and the Union Territories to constitute such Boards “within three months, if not already constituted, till the Parliament brings in a proper Legislation in setting up CSB.”
The Bench said “We notice, at present the civil servants are not having stability of tenure, particularly in the State governments where transfers and postings are made frequently, at the whims and fancies of the executive head for political and other considerations and not in public interest. The necessity of minimum tenure has been endorsed and implemented by the Union Government. In fact, we notice, almost 13 States have accepted the necessity of a minimum tenure for civil servants. Fixed minimum tenure would not only enable the civil servants to achieve their professional targets, but also help them to function as effective instruments of public policy.”

Deprecating repeated transfers, the Bench said minimum assured tenure ensures efficient service delivery and also increased efficiency.The Bench directed the Centre, States and Union Territories to issue appropriate directions to secure providing of minimum tenure of service to various civil servants, within three months.
