Few good options for employees earning a high salary can choose to adopt a combination of EPF and NPS to maximise returns and minimise tax outgo.

NPS returns are tax-exempt except at the time of withdrawals upon maturity. Also at maturity, 60% of the corpus is tax-free while 40% is mandatorily converted into an annuity, which is taxable as salary income. Though NPS is not an EEE scheme, one can evaluate the tax benefits available in NPS.
