National Pension System (NPS)


Who among the following can join the National Pension System (NPS)?


(a) Resident Indian citizens only

(b) Persons of age from 21 to 55 only

(c) All State Government employees joining the services after the date of notification by the respective State Governments

(d) All Central Government employees including those of Armed Forces joining the services on or after 1St April, 2004

Solution: (d) All Central Government employees including those of Armed Forces joining the services on or after 1St April, 2004

A citizen of India, whether resident or non-resident can join NPS. His age should be between 18 and 60 years old. So, 1 and 2 are wrong. 

Statement 3 and 4: NPS is applicable to all new employees of Central Government service (except Armed Forces) and Central Autonomous Bodies joining Government service on or after 1st January 2004. So, 3 is wrong and 4 is correct.
