Please check the relevant rules / orders applicable in the autonomous body where you were working and which has deducted the amount towards NPS. It will depend on the relevant rules applicable in that organisation as to under what specific conditions such organisation was deducting the amounts. Make enquiries with the organisation, if necessary, through the RTI.
But, you must at least get the interest on such deductions.
