Difference between NPS Tier-I and Tier-II Types of Account

There are two types of accounts in the National Pension System (NPS) - Tier-I and Tier-II.

When an individual joins NPS, it is the Tier-I Account that is activated. A subscriber may add his/her/their Tier-II Account anytime but after opening of Tier-I Account. Though the functioning of the two accounts varies and subscribers can select different investment options, fund managers, and nominees, the Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN) for the two accounts is same since they are associated with the same subscriber.
