PFRDA Proposes 10 Changes to Points of Presence Rules for National Pension System
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has proposed ten key changes to the Points of Presence (PoP) rules governing the National Pension System (NPS). These include dividing PoPs into physical and digital modes, expanding eligibility to entities like LLPs, societies, and trusts, introducing an annual fee structure, and simplifying subscriber onboarding and servicing. The draft aims to enhance access, especially in underserved areas, and improve service efficiency. Public feedback is invited until October 2, 2026, before finalizing the regulations.
