Mobile Numbers and Bank Account Details Becomes Mandatory To Give by NPS Members

The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has taken important steps to ease the operational problems of the National Pension Scheme (NPS) and facilitate the process of exiting it. The regulator has decided to make bank account information and mobile number mandatory for NPS Members (Subscribers).

This is the cheapest market-linked retirement plan in all retirement plans. Accordingly, it should have been the biggest sale, but due to the low commission payment to the agents, they were not spreading it much.

The National Pension System (NPS) is the most economical, but very less popular pension scheme sanctioned by the government for Indian citizens of 18-60 years. This scheme was launched by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) in 2004. It can be contributed to a monthly lump sum of Rs 6,000 or monthly instalments of Rs 500 per month.

• Under the complying with the guidelines of the Prevention of Corruption Act (PMLA), the regulator has made the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) the centralization of securitization asset reconstruction and central registry of interest (CERSAI) mandatory for new and existing members.
• PFRDA makes new changes from time to time to overcome difficulties related to the operation of NPS. The Ministry said in the statement that the Authority has decided to mandate the bank account details and mobile number to make the operation of NPS in the interest of the members and to make it easier to exit. To avoid the form’s rejection, customers have been asked to fill all the blocks or spaces correctly.
