Guys as you know NPS provide some tax benefit for both old regime and new regimes . Max 50k can be invested per year. I was going through the faq of permanent exit which says after 5 years one can permanently exit if corpus is less than 2.5L else only 20% will be given and rest 80% in annuity.

My questions are:
Can I invest around 40k per year , claim tax benefit and exit after 5 year with full money back? If I exit with full money, can I rejoin back NPS?

I think this is big hack/loop out of the lockin and get maximum tax benefit

Need expert advice..don't mind if I am wrong..just some idea came to my devil mind pray sweat_smile

The amount also includes the interest as well. What if it grows beyond the threshold? Need to keep a closer look.

This is possible but eps has five year minimum investment rule for tax free withdrawal, I think it should apply here as well(not sure).

Yes, you can rejoin nps anytime.

I also thought of this sometime ago, you are not alone with the devil mind.

NPS has equity/fixed component ... you should closely monitor to not breach 2.5L corpus .. 

also only Employer contribution to NPS is giving tax benefit under new regime...

Wouldn't you still pay tax on the interest when you exit after 5 years?

Thanks all .so we can use the hack right?

Considering we have to deposit manually every year, we can always monitor and  keep it under 2.5L sweat_smile

Btw somewhere I read rules are different for corporate and non-corporate employees , any idea on this?
