NPS is a market linked, defined-contribution product that allows you to invest on a regular basis in the funds of your choice. Being a market-linked product, returns are based on the performance of the fund that you choose.
In India, as retirement products, both PPF and NPS are very popular among investors. But experts believe PPF is better suited for those who want flexibility in their investment while those who are investing only for their retirement, NPS is a better investment option.
