Rohitaashv Sinha on Budget 2026: Why Expanding NPS Incentives Can Rebalance India’s Retirement Planning
Commenting on the retirement planning implications of Budget 2026, Rohitaashv Sinha highlighted the strategic role that enhanced tax incentives for the National Pension System (NPS) could play in strengthening India’s long-term savings framework.
He emphasised that while NPS should not be viewed as a replacement for established instruments such as EPF, PPF, or insurance-linked products, an increased NPS limit can help rebalance retirement portfolios by encouraging market-linked, pension-oriented savings over fragmented and short-term instruments.
According to him, expanding NPS deductions has the potential to address India’s widening retirement savings gap by nudging households towards disciplined, long-term pension accumulation. He noted that such a shift would not only improve individual retirement preparedness but also ease future fiscal pressure on the state by reducing over-reliance on social security systems.
His observations focus on the need for Budget 2026 to view retirement policy not merely as a tax incentive measure, but as a structural reform to promote sustainable and resilient retirement planning in India.
