Your retirement plan deserves regular health checks—and tracking your National Pension System (NPS) balance is a great way to do that. Thankfully, with digital tools now available, you don’t need to visit a branch or fill out lengthy forms to access your NPS details.


In this guide, we’ll walk you through simple and quick ways to check your NPS balance online. Additionally, we’ll explain how complementing your NPS investments with Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposits (FDs) can help you secure your retirement with guaranteed returns, check latest rates

What is the National Pension System (NPS)?

The National Pension System (NPS) is a government-backed voluntary retirement savings scheme open to Indian citizens and NRIs. It operates on a defined-contribution model where your investments are directed toward market-linked instruments, managed by professional fund managers under the oversight of the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).


NPS offers tax benefits, flexibility in asset allocation, and the potential for long-term wealth creation. However, since returns are market-driven, they are not guaranteed.

How to check NPS balance via different online methods?

Log in to the official NPS portal (NSDL)
You can access your NPS balance through the NSDL portal using your PRAN (Permanent Retirement Account Number).
Steps:

  • Visit the NPS portal
  • Log in using your PRAN and password
  • Navigate to the Transaction Statement or Holding Statement section to view your balance

Want stable returns while you track your NPS? 

Open a Bajaj Finance FD with interest rates of up to 7.30% per annum and enjoy peace of mind. Open FD Account.

How to get your NPS balance via missed call service?

If you don't have internet access, you can still check your balance via SMS by giving a missed call.

Why consider fixed deposits alongside NPS?

While NPS helps build long-term wealth, it is still subject to market volatility. A well-rounded portfolio that includes stable instruments like Fixed Deposits can offer both certainty and liquidity.
