Collection of Charges: Through cancellation of Units by Central Recordkeeping Agencies (CRA)
| Charge Head | Charge | Minimum Charge | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual Service Charge | 0.2% of AUM / Year | ₹30/Year | Quarterly- levied on the last day of the quarter |
How unit cancellation works:
The Central Recordkeeping Agency (CRA – NSDL/Protean) automatically deducts the applicable fee by redeeming a small portion of your NPS units on a quarterly (pro-rata) basis.
Illustration:
If your total investment (AUM) is ₹1,00,000, the annual charge is 0.20% = ₹200. This is deducted as ₹50 per quarter by adjusting your unit balance slightly.
