PFRDA Updates NPS Risk Classification and Proposes Expanded Distribution Network
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has introduced two key initiatives to enhance the National Pension System (NPS). A new standardized framework classifies NPS schemes by risk levels, helping subscribers align investments with their risk profiles rather than focusing solely on returns. Separately, a proposal to broaden the distribution network aims to increase NPS accessibility by allowing more entities to offer services through physical and digital channels, addressing India's large untapped retirement savings market.
