Fund managers by assets
Sep 2026
Three managers hold most of NPS because they run the government employees' money, which is allotted to them rather than chosen. The last column leaves that out: it is each manager's share of the ₹4.24 lakh cr that subscribers chose to put with them (All Citizen, Corporate, Tier II, Vatsalya and the rest).

| NPS Vatsalya | ₹382 cr | 0.0% | 4.00 lakh | ₹9,559 |
| Tier II Tax Saver | ₹18 cr | 0.0% | n/a | n/a |
Per subscriber is assets divided by accounts: an average, pulled up by long-serving government employees and down by new joiners. Tier II and Tax Saver balances sit inside existing accounts, so they have no subscriber count of their own.

Reading this page
- In NPS you choose a fund manager and a scheme mix. Every manager runs the same schemes: E invests in equity, C in corporate bonds, G in government bonds. Your money is split across them by your own choice or by an age-based auto choice. Scheme A (alternatives) is not shown: every manager's Scheme A NAV has been stayed at 10.0000 since January 2026.
- Tier I is the pension account, Tier II is the optional one you can withdraw from freely. The same scheme is managed separately in each tier, so returns differ.
- Since April 2026 each scheme has more than one NAV. PFRDA now charges differently depending on how you joined, and the charges come out of the NAV. Through a PoP is the original NAV and the only one with a long history. e-NPS (opened online, direct) and Govt sector started on 2 April 2026, a little higher because they carry lower charges. Returns below are measured on the PoP NAV, because the other two do not have a year of history yet.
