NSSF Tier II Contracting Out: Take Control of Your Employees’ Retirement
By law, part of your employees’ pension contributions goes to NSSF.
But here’s what most employers don’t realize:
You can legally redirect the Tier II portion into a private pension scheme—without increasing your costs.
What Is NSSF Tier II?
Under the NSSF Act:
- Tier I: Mandatory contribution paid to NSSF
- Tier II: Can be:
- Paid to NSSF, or
- Contracted out to an approved private pension scheme
This gives employers the opportunity to offer a more structured and potentially higher-performing retirement solution.
Why Contract Out Tier II?
Forward-thinking businesses use this to improve employee benefits without increasing payroll costs:
- Better Growth Potential: Professionally managed pension funds
- Improved Employee Benefits: Stronger retirement package
- More Control: Clear reporting and fund visibility
- Competitive Advantage: Attract and retain skilled employees
How It Works
- Employer registers with an approved umbrella pension scheme
- Tier II contributions are redirected to the scheme
- Funds are professionally invested on behalf of employees
- Employees build a structured retirement benefit outside NSSF
