The New Pension Scheme is not just a pension scheme like the old pension scheme was. This is an investment plan also.

[{"selector":"#anim-9a36e774-8c4b-4dd0-a560-796c5f9c1f9e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-14.820423397996429%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a586fb3-37ea-4c03-992b-2d00fc87229f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-382603ce-96c4-4b55-a3bb-147ec8fc13e0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 137.42958%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Any eligible person can open two types of accounts under the New Pension Scheme – Tier-I and Tier-II Account.
