He emphasized simplifying pension products, expanding access, and building trust to encourage longer-term commitments. Financial Services Secretary Sanjay Lohiya stressed expanding pension coverage to informal sectors. The National Pension System's corpus stands at Rs 18 lakh crore, with efforts underway to promote sustainable retirement income solutions amid India's ageing population.
