NPS doesn’t sadly provide a function to redirect future re-investments to a selected asset allocation, with out redistributing your present items. If the choice is taken to vary your asset allocation, the invested items out of your present schemes are redeemed based mostly on NAV (Net Asset Value).
These items are then reinvested in accordance with new asset allocation chosen by you and the long run funds are additionally invested on the premise of latest asset allocation.
