NEW PENSION SYSTEM (NPS)

Apart from offering wide range or scope of investment options to employees, thisscheme would help Government of India to reduce its pension liabilities. Unlikeexisting pension fund of Government of India that offered assured benefits, NPS hasdefined contribution and individuals can decide where to invest their money.
This scheme is structured into two tiers:
Tier-I account:
This NPS account doesnt allow premature withdrawal and is available from
1 May, 2009.
Tier-II account:
The tier-II NPS account permits withdrawal
REGULATOR
Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) is the prudential
regulator for the NPS. PFRDA was established by the Government of India on 23
August 2003 to promote old age income security by establishing, developing and
regulating pension funds. PFRDA has set up a Trust under the Indian Trusts Act,
1882 to oversee the functions of the PFMs. The NPS Trust is composed of members
representing diverse fields and brings wide range of talent to the regulatory
framework.
COVERAGE AND ELIGIBILITY
NPS would be available to all citizens of India on voluntary basis and mandatory for
employees of central government (except armed forces) appointed on or after 1
January 2004. All Indian citizens between the age of 18 and 55 can join the NPS.
Tier-I is mandatory for all Govt. servants joining Govt. service on or after 1.1.2004. In
Tier I, Govt. servants will have to make a contribution of 10% of his Basic Pay, DP
and DA which will be deducted from his salary bill every month. In addition to the
above pension account, each individual can have a voluntary tier-II withdraw able
account at his option. Government will make no contribution into this account. These
assets would be managed in the same manner as the pension.
OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE
NPS is designed to leverage existing network of bank branches and post offices to
collect contributions and ensure that there is seamless transfer of accumulations incase of change of employment and/or location of the subscriber. It offers a basket of
-

investment choices and Fund managers. The key terms to understand the working of
NPS are as follows:
Central Record Keeping Agency
It would maintain records of all contributions and transaction details of
subscribers. It will also have the mandate to effect client instructions regarding
switching from one fund to another or from one scheme to another of the same
fund.
Permanent Pension Account Number (PPAN)
A unique 16 digit Permanent Pension Account Number would be allocated toeach new subscriber for the Permanent Pension Account (PRA). Subscribers
can retain their PRAs when they change jobs or residence, and even change
their fund managers and the allocation of investments among the different
asset classes.
Pension Fund Managers (PFM): PFRDA has appointed PFMs to manage the
savings corpus under NPS.
Contribution Guidelines
The following contribution guidelines have been set by the PFRDA:
Minimum amount per contribution: Rs. 500 per month
Minimum number of contributions: 4 in a year (at least 1 in each
quarter)
Minimum annual contribution: Rs 6,000 in each subscriber account. If
the subscriber is unable to contribute the minimum annual contribution,a default penalty of Rs.100 per year of default would be levied and the
account would become dormant. In order to re-activate the account,
subscriber will have to pay the minimum contributions, along with
penalty due. A dormant account will be closed when the account value
falls to zero.
Investment Options
-
8/3/2019 41633395 Term Paper RM Abhinav
7/21
Under the investment guidelines finalized for the NPS, pension fund managers
will manage three separate schemes, each investing in a different asset class.
The subscriber will have the option to actively decide as to how the NPS pension
wealth is to be invested in three asset classes:
1. E Class: Investment would primarily in Equity market instruments. It would investin Index funds that replicate the portfolio of either BSE Sensitive index or NSE Nifty
50 index.
2. G Class: Investment would be in Government securities like GOI bonds and State
Govt. bonds
3. C Class: Investment would be in fixed income securities other than Government
Securities.
Investment Charges
NPS levies extremely low Investment management charge of 0.00009% on
Asset under management. This is extremely low as compared to charges
levied by mutual funds or other investment products. Initial charge of opening
the account would be Rs. 470. From second year onwards the minimum
charge would be Rs. 350 a year.
Withdrawal Norms
If subscriber exits before 60 years of age, he/she has to invest 80% of
accumulated saving to purchase a life annuity from IRDA regulate life insurer.
The remaining 20% may be withdrawn as lump sum. On exit after age 60 years
from the pension system, the subscriber would be required to invest at least
40% of pension wealth to purchase an annuity.
Tax Treatment
The offer document of NPS does not specify the tax benefits in elaborate
manner. It specifies Tax benefits would be applicable as per Income Tax Act,
1961 as amended from time to time. As per current provisions, withdrawals
under the NPS attract tax under the EET (exempt-exempt-taxable) system,
which means that while contributions and returns to the NPS are exempt up to
a limit, withdrawals would be taxed as normal income (EET).
Past Investment Returns

8/21
The NPS architecture has been managing money since April 2008. Rs.2100
crore is invested as corpus of Central Government employees. In 2008-09, as
per unaudited results of the Pension Funds, the average weighted return on the
corpus have been over 14.5% with the individual returns of three Pension
Funds varying from 12% to 16% on the NPS corpus during the year 2008-09,weighted average return being over 14.5 per cent.
BENEFITS OF NEW PENSION SYSTEM
1. There is immense scope to widen the pension-net, based on the life-cycle ofthe subscriber as the average age of Indians is currently 26 years.
2. The present coverage rate is also lower. The formal pension system
covers only 11% of workers, while 89% workers still remainuncovered.
3. The current defined benefit (DB) pension system for civil servicehas become financially unviable for the central and stategovernments. As against this, the NPS is a funded definedcontribution (DC) pension system with greater possibilities, toexpand pension coverage.
4. Moreover, pension fund as an institutional investor, supports the
financial intermediation, facilitates resource transfer, providebetter trade-off between risk and return. It also supplies resourcesto various segments of the market through strategy of diversifiedinvestment process, manages uncertainty and gives priceinformation.
5. As pension funds will invest mostly in long-term asset classes; itwill give a fillip to development of bond market and help financinginfrastructure needs.
6. The non-banking financial sector, deprived of deposit sources,will find an alternate route for raising resources through bonds.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Research makes a man forward in search of truth. Every research begins from
where the previous researches have left it and goes forward. Therefore everyresearch it is essential to acquire him with what has already been thought expressed
and done about the problems under investigation. This is possible only if he studies
review surveys, books, journals, newspapers, documentary. These abstracts and
other sources of information directly or indirectly connected with this problem of
investigation. For this research researcher has gone through different journals and
other research works. The related studies are presented below:
Joseph Mariathasan (2006) has told that India is starting a new pension systemwhich is used as a social security as all the people will be benefitted by this new
pension system. Its growth and development is set to have a profound impact
on India'scapital markets as well as providing security in old age to a population
seeing unprecedented changes in social structures as economic growth takes off.
Benjamin and Sachi (2006) discuss about new pension which consist of two tier
account. They have forced savings advocated by World Bank by allowing cross
subsidies. The Swiss and Australian retirement system is also based on the pensionsystem of the India.
ARTICLE REVIEW
1. Eves (2010) has discussed that the worldwide demographic problems ofincreasing longevity have made many state-sponsored schemes
increasingly untenable on grounds of cost. This has been exacerbated by
the effects of the worldwide economic crisis. In this article different issues,
and different innovative approaches of countries such as Australia, India,
Chile, and New Zealand are seen and different solutions are offered to
these problems. Changes in pension age are the most common feature of
reform packages. Recent reforms have reversed the trend to lower
pension eligibility ages, with 10 countries introducing gradual increases in
pension ages for both men and women. When studying pension systems,
it is important to have knowledge of consumer attitudes -- particularly theirattitudes toward taking on risks. It is particularly important that insurers
-
8/3/2019 41633395 Term Paper RM Abhinav
10/21
continue to invest in skills to assess the future, identifying new and
emerging risks. Consumers expect risk managers to understand what
future risks look like and advise customers accordingly on what they need
to do to prepare for it.
2. Miksa (2008) says that a crucial development in Asian pensions has beenthe rise of DC plans. Since 2000, new DC schemes have been introducedfor various target groups in China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, South Koreaand Taiwan; Thailand also plans to launch a DC systemin 2008. In Australia and Singapore, DC schemes have been in place forlonger. In Thailand and India, reforms were introduced to replacefinancially unsustainable schemes for civil servants with a more calculableDC system. In Japan and Korea, the newly introduced DC schemes aimedto increase employer choice and modernise the company pension system.
The rise of funded pensions of the DC type has fuelled asset growth. AllianzGlobal Investors/Allianz Dresdner Economic Research projections foreseethat in coming years, pension assets in Asia- Pacific as a whole will seeannual growth of 9.2 per cent, from Euros 1,407.5bn to Euros3,116bn in 2015.
3. Bonin (2009) discussed that the state of the German pension system after
a sequence of reforms aimed at achieving long-term sustainability. Theyargue that the latest reforms have moved pension provision in Germany inprinciple from a defined benefit to a defined contribution scheme, and thatthis move has stabilised pension finances to a large extent. Theyfurthermore argue that the real economy consequences of the globalfinancial crisis create threats to the core success factors of the reforms cutting pension levels and raising mandatory pension age. Finallythe article discusses further possible reform measures, including the optionto install a fourth pillar, providing income in retirement through workingafter pension age.
4. Lindquist and Wadenjso (2009) say that most countries including Swedenhave an ageing population. The costs of the welfare state increase with theold age share, leading to problems for public finances. If the number ofhours worked increases, tax revenues increase and less income transfersare paid out. A higher retirement age is one way to increase the numbersof hours worked in the economy. The age when people leave the labourmarket has already increased in Sweden. The new pensions system ispart of the explanation but improved health and changes in the educational
level of the cohorts close to retirement are also important. The problem offinancing the welfare state is however not solved by that development. The
-
8/3/2019 41633395 Term Paper RM Abhinav
11/21
article is concluded by discussing changes in laws and collectiveagreements which may contribute to further increases in the actualretirement age.
5. Goswami (2002) discussed the current state of the Indian pension system.
The Indian experience could potentially influence policy decisions in other
developing countries, especially those with similar reliance on the national
provident fund system. Institutional features of various retirement benefit
schemes are highlighted and their deficiencies are discussed. It is argued
that low coverage level, underperformance of provident fund schemes due
to investment restrictions, and financial difficulties in administering
unfunded public pension programmes have rendered the current system
ineffective and unsustainable. The failed experiments with ad hoc reforminitiatives in the recent past further emphasize the need for a structural and
lasting change. The paper concludes with some policy directions for
reforming the Indian pension system.
6. Shao (2010) says about the challenges facing the New Public ServicePension Fund System in Taiwan, China. After less than two decades ofoperation, this young system is facing financial imbalance and is embroiled
in controversy regarding the generosity of its benefits provisions. Thearticle first introduces Taiwan's different systems for old-age security, witha focus on that for general public-sector employees. It then addresses thefinancial challenges facing the general public-sector pension system,including the rising cost of its benefits for all taxpayers. Finally, a numberof possible reform directions are suggested, including lowering benefitlevels, making qualifying criteria more stringent, or establishing a newsystem. With regards to the latter, any proposed new system must seek tosatisfy the goal of longer-term financial soundness while realizing optimalfairness among all stakeholders including taxpayers.
7. Blake and Turner (2007) discussed a Social Security reform approach that
creates substantially new structures such as voluntary carve-out accounts,
it is important to apply what we already know about the functioning
of pension systems and their effects on workers rather than analyzing an
idealized form of the proposed system. This article describes the United
Kingdom's experience with voluntary carve-out accounts, including
the system's numerous difficulties. Among the many problems are "mis-
selling," high administrative costs and fundamental difficulty determining
-
8/3/2019 41633395 Term Paper RM Abhinav
12/21
the appropriate offset between the reduction in the worker's payment to
Social Security and the reduction in that person's Social Security benefits
8. Culter (2003) discussed that one of the most detailed continuing surveys ofthe financial behaviour of American consumers is the Survey of ConsumerFinances (SCF) sponsored by the Board of Governors of the FederalReserve System. The survey is designed to provide detailedinformation on U.S. families' balance sheets and their use of financialservices as well as on their pensions, labour force participation anddemographic characteristics at the time of the interview. This article is
based on the elaborate analysis of the SCF done by Craig Copeland,senior analyst at the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Tablesconstructed from EBRI's analysis of the 2001 SCF aptly demonstrate theneed for more, and more literate, financial planning. The financialcomplexities faced by today's middle class families, and their ownresponsibility for the future value of IRA and similar personal pension accounts, suggests that the involvement of financialprofessionals is not simply a matter of "having enough money to invest."
9. Eeckhaut (2005) says that in Belgium, as in many other Europeancountries, declining birth rates and ageing populations are making thefinancing of pensions one of the most critical economic and politicalchallenges for the coming decades. In order to cope with this financialburden, the Belgian government has recently introduced measures, andwill introduce further measures, to widen the scope of pension financinginstruments. This article provides a general overview of the most importantchanges to the Belgian social and tax law aspects of supplementary pensions as introduced by the Law of 28 April2003 on supplementary pensions.
10. Doman and Freeman (2006) discussed that in Britain, pension reform hasbeen a long-running political saga. In America, reform of social securityhas been on and off the political agenda. Increasing longevity has featuredin the debate just about everywhere. Unfortunately, most headlines have
been negative. Pensions systems are seen to be in crisis. People are livinglonger but are also running out of savings and so cannot afford health

care. Companies are scrapping defined-benefit pensions and putting moreonus on individuals to provide for their own income in retirement.Governments are rolling back old-age welfare systems that have becomemore expensive as populations in the developed world have failed toreproduce. Responsibility for the financial risk of the lifecycle is being
transferred back to the individual. It is a thoroughly gloomy picture andtempting to imagine there are no positives for financial companies.This article discusses several product and services strategies that are welladapted to the new retirement market and look set to alter companies'behaviour.

According to the above articles it has been shown that in different countries thereare different pension systems. Like in different countries longevity has increasedmeans age of both men and women have increased for the retirement.
In Germany, pension plan is shifted from defined benefit to defined contributionscheme.
In Sweden, as financial position is not good so they cant pay their employeespension. So they have increased the age of retirement of the employees.
In Taiwan, there are different systems for old-age security, with a focus on thatfor general public-sector employees and it has financial challenges facing thegeneral public sector pension system, including rising cost of its benefits for alltaxpayers.
In Belgium, there is also financial burden. They are taking steps and wideningtheir pension instruments such that employees can be paid relevant pension.
In Britain, there is no better pension system that of India. Pension system is incrisis. People have to put their own income for the time of retirement as there isless finance.
In Pakistan there are three schemes for private sector workers and in India thereare only two schemes.

HYPOTHESES
With the help of above discussion it can be said that India has the best pensionsystem in comparison with other countrys pension system as in other countriesthere is the lack of finance. Finance is also lacking also in India but then also
employees are paid pension, so that they can also survive after finishing off theirjobs. It can also be seen that still is importance is given to the employees whogot retire.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

18/21
Research is an indispensable and innovative tool in leading society to progress and
advancement without a systematic research, there would have been no or little
progress. No progress can be made by trial and error method. But a systematic
research and only those who are equipped with the related knowledge can conduct
research. Research is valuable only when it brings an improvement of human spirit,intellectual force and moral fibre of those who search for advantages of knowledge. It
is necessary to adopt and evaluate a systematic plan and procedure to collect
essential data. Plan and procedure is very essential to collect factual material
relevant, data, unknown and untapped so far, adequate in quantity and quality to
save it from becoming heap of jumbled ideas gathered from here and there. It is the
path which is followed by researcher to research the target.
The scope of my study restricts itself to the new pension system of different
countries. This study tells about the pension system of different countries and how
Indias pension system is better than the pension system of other countries.
TIME PERIOD OF STUDY
The present study was undertaken during the month of April, 2010.
RESEARCH TYPE
This research is a descriptive one. As in this research it has been described about
the new pension system of India and how this is helpful as the social security of India
as in India there is not a better security system. Pension system of other countries
has also been described with the help of some articles. Benefits and disadvantages
have also been given.
DATA COLLECTION
The data which is collected for the study is SECONDARY DATA. The data has been
collected from different journals and from different sites like PROQUEST and SSRN
(Social Science Research Network).
