PFRDA Plans Digital Expansion to Grow NPS Assets to Rs 100 Lakh Crore by 2040
The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) aims to grow the National Pension System's assets under management to Rs 100 lakh crore by 2040, potentially achieving this milestone earlier through digital innovation. Chairman S. Ramann highlighted plans to leverage the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and banks' existing infrastructure to simplify NPS enrolment and expand participation. The initiative seeks to reduce customer acquisition costs for banks and increase pension coverage, especially among informal and lower-income groups, while supporting infrastructure financing and economic development.
