NPS Accounts Remain Portable When Changing Jobs Across Sectors
When changing jobs, National Pension System (NPS) subscribers do not need to open a new account or transfer their pension corpus. The unique Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN) remains the same across employers, sectors, and locations, ensuring portability. The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) facilitates Inter Sector Shifting (ISS) for moving between corporate, government, and citizen models without affecting the accumulated funds. However, contributors should be aware of potential gaps in contributions during job transitions.
