Since government is going to increase interest rates, do you think one should be using the aggressive strategy right now? (Asking as a 27 year old looking to open nps account)

Hi Your videos are very informative. I am a govt employee and NPS subscriber too for the past 17 years. My current scheme preference type is AUTO. Can I change it on my own through the NPS app ?

Sir can you give a clear idea, regarding mode of investment in NPS.. for eg If I want to invest 50000 INR per year, should I invest as lumpsum or will I break it and invest 4000 every month or half yrly or weekly and likewise. Also if it lumpsum then should I invest in the beginning of financial year like 1st of April or 1st wk of April just like we do in case of PPF or at the end like in Feb-March or in the middle of year? ( I am 35yrs old and from this year I have started to invest in NPS for the first time)... It will be great if you can made a video on this topic as well... Waiting for your kind reply eagerly...
