    Solution

    In case of Death of NPS Subscriber (before attaining the age of superannuation), at least 80% of the accumulated pension wealth of the Subscriber needs to be utilized for purchase of an Annuity providing for monthly pension to the Family Members i.e. to Spouse of Subscriber, if any and then to dependent mother & then to dependent father of Subscriber. The balance pension wealth is paid as lump sum to the nominees or legal heirs, as the case may be, of such Subscriber. Further, In case, the total corpus in the NPS account is less than or equal to Rs. 5 lakh as on the Date of Death of the Subscriber, the nominees or legal heirs as the case may be, shall have the option of complete (100%) Withdrawal. If none of the family members of deceased Subscriber (Spouse, if any, Mother and Father) are alive, then NPS Corpus meant for issue of annuity shall be returned to the surviving children of the Subscriber and in absence of children, the legal heirs of the subscriber as applicable. Further, if family pension is being paid/payable to family members from Government, then as per the Regulations, entire pension wealth (100% corpus) shall be transferred to the Nodal Office for further settlement as per Government directives.
