PFRDA Launches NPS PRIDE-Disha Tool for Enhanced Pension Fund Comparison
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has launched NPS PRIDE-Disha, a digital toolkit that enables National Pension System (NPS) subscribers to compare pension fund performance using extended internal rate of return (XIRR) based on periodic contributions. The platform utilizes nearly 5,000 days of historical NAV data since 2008, allowing more accurate evaluation of investment choices. PFRDA has instructed Central Recordkeeping Agencies to integrate the tool into subscriber portals during fund selection or switching. The tool does not predict future returns but aids informed decision-making.
