PFRDA Develops Guaranteed Pension Scheme, Inflation-Linked Bonds, and Health-Focused NPS Product
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) is advancing several initiatives to enhance pension products in India. It has formed an expert committee to develop a guaranteed-return pension scheme for the non-government sector, addressing challenges around guarantee provision. PFRDA is also working on innovative inflation-linked bonds to offer inflation-protected returns. Additionally, the NPS Swasthya, a health-focused pension product allowing medical expense withdrawals, is expected to launch within 30 days following final guideline issuance.
