PFRDA Revises NPS Scheme Classification and Directs Pension Funds to Restructure MSF Schemes
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has introduced a new classification framework for National Pension System (NPS) schemes, categorizing them into five types including Lifecycle-based, Active Choice, NPS Sanchay, Multiple Scheme Framework (MSF), and 4A schemes. Pension funds must rename and restructure existing MSF schemes within 30 days to comply with the new standards, with a cap of two schemes per category per Tier. Enhanced disclosure requirements, such as Risk-o-meter displays and detailed scheme documents, have also been mandated.
