Tax on NPS Tier 2 amount withdrawl

The withdrawal of the amount in the NPS tier 2 account is taxable. So how this tax is calculated? 

1) Should I treat it as capital gain and do tax calculation on the gain considering it as an equity mutual fund (as my major contribution is on equity)?

2) or should I consider the tax considering it as a part of the income. So in this scenario do I have to pay tax only on the interest earned or on the whole money withdrawal (as the tax on the invested money is already considered in the previous investment year so why to pay tax on the same amount twice)?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of withdrawing funds from an NPS Tier 2 account. The core question is how to calculate the tax: should it be treated as a capital gain on profits, similar to equity mutual funds, or as part of regular income? Participants are seeking clarification on whether tax is due only on the gains or the entire withdrawal amount, and how to account for contributions already taxed.

Need to consider it as capital gain & pay tax on gain amount only

Do I have to calculate the gain on equity and debt part separately and calculate taxes accordingly or consider it as an equity fund (due to a major portion in equity)?
