PFRDA Introduces NPS Swasthya Health Insurance Under National Pension System
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) is advancing the National Pension System (NPS) with initiatives like the Retirement Income Scheme and NPS Swasthya, a group health insurance plan launched on October 1, 2026. NPS Swasthya offers family-floater coverage up to Rs 30 lakh with varying deductibles, allowing subscribers to allocate part of their pension contributions to healthcare. The scheme aims to address health insurance challenges for older and gig workers, though claim processes depend on insurer and hospital coordination.
