PFRDA Plans Digital Expansion to Accelerate NPS Growth and Reach Rs 100 Lakh Crore Assets
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) aims to expand the National Pension System (NPS) by leveraging India's UPI network and banking infrastructure to simplify account opening and increase participation. Chairman S. Ramann stated the goal to reach Rs 100 lakh crore in assets under management well before 2040, driven by digital innovation, awareness campaigns, and inclusion of informal and gig workers. The growing pension corpus is also expected to support India's infrastructure financing and economic development.
