Baner is one of Pune’s premium IT and commercial corridors, home to technology companies, startups, and corporate offices spread across Baner Road, Aundh-Baner Link Road, and the surrounding tech parks. It also has a large and growing residential population of IT professionals, many of whom are in the ₹10–30 lakh annual income range and in the prime wealth-building phase of their careers.
Meta Investment works with both individual investors and organisations in Baner — helping professionals build goal-based investment plans and helping companies implement structured benefits like Corporate NPS for their employees.
For Individuals in Baner
IT professionals and salaried employees in Baner typically have strong income, some existing equity compensation (ESOPs, RSUs), and a combination of goals: buying or upgrading a home, building financial independence before 50, saving for education, and eventually retirement. The challenge is rarely income — it is converting that income into a structured, goal-linked investment plan that actually gets followed.
What we help with:
- Goal-based SIP planning — equity and index funds for wealth creation over 7–20 year horizons
- ELSS — tax saving under Section 80C with equity upside and 3-year lock-in
- Individual NPS — retirement savings with additional ₹50,000 deduction under 80CCD(1B)
- ESOP and RSU deployment — STP strategies for lump sum proceeds from equity compensation
- Portfolio Management Services (PMS) — for accumulated corpus of ₹50 lakh and above (APMI Reg. No. APRN01448)
- Insurance — term life cover sized correctly to income and liabilities
- Home loan vs SIP balance — financial modelling on the right mix
For Organisations in Baner — Corporate NPS
Corporate NPS is a structured retirement benefit that organisations offer to employees through the National Pension System. It is one of the most tax-efficient employee benefits available under Indian law — for both the employer and the employee.
Why it makes sense for IT companies in Baner:
| Benefit | Who gains |
|---|---|
| Employer’s NPS contribution (up to 14% of Basic+DA under the new tax regime; 10% under the old regime) is a business expense deductible under Section 36(1)(iv-a) | Employer |
| Employee’s employer-contributed NPS amount is tax-exempt under Section 80CCD(2) — separate from and beyond the ₹1.5 lakh 80C ceiling | Employee |
| Differentiates the organisation’s compensation package for talent retention | Employer |
| Builds a retirement corpus for employees — improving long-term financial wellness | Employee |
We handle your end-to-end Corporate NPS implementation working with a PFRDA-registered partner:
- Present the business case to leadership and HR teams
- Facilitate employer registration and employee PRAN onboarding
- Conduct employee awareness and enrolment sessions at your office
- Provide a single point of contact for ongoing HR and employee queries

Frequently Asked Questions
I work at an IT company in Baner. My company does not offer NPS. What can I do?
You can enrol in NPS individually through an eNPS account. As an individual NPS subscriber, you get a deduction of up to 10% of salary under Section 80CCD(1) within your ₹1.5 lakh 80C limit, plus an additional ₹50,000 under Section 80CCD(1B). You can also speak to your HR about implementing Corporate NPS — Meta Investment can facilitate the entire setup for your employer.
What is the tax benefit of Corporate NPS for an employee?
The employer's NPS contribution on your behalf — up to 14% of your Basic + DA under the new income tax regime (10% under the old regime) — is fully tax-exempt under Section 80CCD(2). This benefit is separate from and in addition to the standard deduction limits. It is effectively a tax-free salary top-up that builds your retirement corpus.
Can Meta Investment help my company in Baner set up Corporate NPS for employees?
Yes. We work with organizations to implement Corporate NPS end-to-end: educating HR and leadership on the benefits, facilitating employer registration, conducting employee onboarding sessions, and providing ongoing support. Contact us to schedule a Corporate NPS consultation for your organisation.
I have ESOP and RSU income from my Baner IT job. How do I invest this efficiently?
ESOP and RSU proceeds are typically large lump sums with concentrated single-stock exposure. A Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) moves the proceeds from a liquid fund into diversified equity mutual funds over 6–12 months. For corpus above ₹50 lakh, PMS also becomes an option for a customised equity portfolio.
What is the right SIP amount for someone earning ₹1.5 lakh per month in Baner?
With that income level, a 25–30% savings rate is achievable. After factoring in existing commitments (home loan EMI, EPF), we calculate the exact SIP amount tied to your specific goals — retirement, home, early financial independence. The right number differs for everyone; this takes one planning session to work out.
