PFRDA to Launch NPS Swasthya Health Insurance Scheme Within 60-70 Days
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) plans to launch the NPS Swasthya product within 60-70 days, bundling top-up health insurance with the National Pension System (NPS). Pension funds will partner with insurance companies, starting with Aditya Birla Health Insurance, to provide this cover. Contributions will partly fund premiums and partly go into a health savings account for co-payments, aiming to reduce medical financial burdens for NPS subscribers. The scheme is open to all NPS categories and requires backend integration with Central Recordkeeping Agencies.
