You can choose to put money in it regularly and get tax benefits.
There are two types of accounts: Tier-I, which you must have, and Tier-II, which is optional.
Opening an account is easy online through the eNPS portal or banks.
It's a good way to plan for the future, especially with rising costs and less social security.
