New Pension Scheme ( NPS) : Series 1A

What is the process to open an account?

Once you visit the PoP, you will have to fill in the prescribed form and submit the required documents. Your account will then be registered.

As of now, only Tier I accounts are available and these are non-withdrawal accounts.

Once registered, the Central Record-keeping Agency (CRA) will send you a Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN) along with telephone and Internet passwords.
