PFRDA Revises NPS Scheme Naming Rules and PoP Display Requirements from December 1, 2026
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has revised the naming rules for National Pension System (NPS) schemes under the Multiple Scheme Framework (MSF), effective December 1, 2026. The new guidelines remove category codes from scheme names, requiring distinct unique names and separate risk-category disclosures. PFRDA also clarified how Point of Presence (PoP) platforms must display pension fund schemes during subscriber onboarding, aiming to standardize presentation and improve clarity for subscribers and intermediaries.
