Did you know ? You can help your staff “age” with grace… give them safety of regular Pension in Private sector too. ( at No cost to you)
You run a private sector company. + Your staff does not get any pension, after they retire…..
?
What if their kids don’t take care of them, when they get “Old age”.
?
How about giving them the net of pension safety ?
Did you know ? You and they can Save More Income tax than you currently do ? On the “additional Rs 50,000” u/s 80CCD(2).
Many Clients of Finsys have already started this Innovative Scheme of Govt of India, and getting good tax benefits for self and other staff.
This is called NPS
One can save tax in three ways via NPS. First, NPS investments are eligible for deduction under Section 80C. ( LIC, School Fee, Housing Loan instalment etc)
If one has already exhausted the Rs 1.5 lakh ceiling under Section 80C, one can claim an additional deduction of up to Rs 50,000 under Section 80CCD(1b). Lastly, up to 10% of the basic salary put in the NPS can be claimed as deduction under Section 80CCD(2).
Even, those very close to retirement, can claim more tax benefits if their company offers the NPS benefit. Under Section 80CCD(2), up to 10% of the basic salary put in the NPS by the company on behalf of the employee is tax free.
Point to note: The entire amount withdrawn will not be tax free. Though there is no reference to this in the tax laws, one can reasonably assume that 60% of the withdrawn amount will be tax free while the balance 40% will be taxed at the normal rate.
This is actually an intelligent, simple and user friendly deferment of tax
So, instead of paying a big 30% tax now
you can deposit now, Save tax.
on the top of it, earn 5% p.a. to 20% p.a. cumulatively on that …. based on your investment profile ( Shares vs Private Debt vs Govt Debt )
You may pay the tax (if any) when you retire
Of course , Old age income ke liye ke liye saving to karni hi Chahiye
Note : By that time the tax exemption limits might have reached Rs 20 lakh or maybe Rs 30 lakhs…. and all your NPS pension money might be tax free after all
