Optional, for an ordinary adult Tier-I account. Separate the lump sum, annuity purchase and estimated income. Older plans need Monthly deposits, Updated total retirement funding and Take-home deposits selected in Assumptions first.
Use the account value at the start of the calculation month and your monthly contribution above (0 for none). The allocation's saved return is a constant estimate after fees, not an official guaranteed return.
Confirm your scheme category and service history with the provider, especially for a government-controlled corporate employer. A fifteen-year subscription route applies to eligible individual schemes; employment schemes use their applicable retirement or age rules. Month-based access starts on the first month on or after the relevant date. Contributions stop at retirement, your stop month or exit, whichever comes first.
The chosen option is checked against projected wealth at exit. Actual eligibility and amounts can change. The six-year alternative models equal units redeemed monthly, beginning one month after exit; values vary with the saved return. Supplied deductions are estimates, not a tax calculation.
Use a provider quote or an explicit planning estimate. Leave this off when unknown; buying an annuity does not itself add spendable capital or an assumed pension. Do not also enter this pension as another income source.
Net receipts before retirement remain earmarked cash with zero growth. Annuity income is modeled through the plan's age-90 horizon, with no assumed return of purchase price or survivor benefit. Working-longer previews retain your account dates and pension estimate; update the quote if the purchase or terms change. This method does not cover Tier-II, NPS-Lite, Vatsalya, special-purpose schemes, death/disability claims or partial withdrawals.
