NPS Vatsalya

What is NPS Vatsalya?

NPS Vatsalya is a variant of the National Pension System designed for minor children upto 18 years of age. The account is opened in the name of the child and managed by a parent or legal guardian until the child attains adulthood. Investments made during the early years benefit from long-term compounding, enabling systematic wealth creation over time.

On attaining majority, the account seamlessly transitions into a regular NPS account, ensuring continuity in retirement planning.

The only document you require for minor is birth proof.
