Changed jobs? What happens to your Corporate NPS account, accumulated corpus and future contributions? Details explained

When you switch employers, your National Pension System (NPS) account does not automatically close. Your Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN) remains valid, and the accumulated corpus stays invested in the market. This continuity is a key advantage, allowing your retirement savings to grow without interruption. You can choose to continue contributing through your new employer if they offer the Corporate NPS scheme, or manage it yourself under the All Citizen Model if your new job does not provide this option.
For investors, this flexibility means you can seamlessly maintain your retirement savings strategy regardless of employment changes. It prevents the disruption of liquidating investments and incurring exit loads or taxes. Moving forward, investors should verify if their new employer has a Corporate NPS setup and decide whether to opt for the employer's contribution or manage the account independently to maximize their retirement benefits.
