NPS (National Pension Scheme) is a government-backed pension system that is open to all Indians. As a Central Record-keeping Agency (CRA) for NPS, Protean eGov Technologies Limited (formerly NSDL) registers complaints and queries on a Central Grievance Management System.

Protean offers toll-free NPS customer care numbers, online complaint registration modes, and written grievance registration routes to ensure easy and timely grievance redressals.

There are two internal escalation levels for any NPS-related issue. Additionally, you can contact the National Pension Trust, Ombudsman, and the PFRDA directly for grievance redressals and escalations.

NPS meaning

The National Pension System, or NPS, is a market-linked voluntary pension contribution scheme introduced by the Government of India in 2004. NPS allows subscribers to make contributions for planned retirement savings and enjoy a steady post-retirement pension. Regulated by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), NPS subscriptions are invested in various market-linked asset classes, including government bonds, bills, shares, and corporate debentures. Your NPS returns depend on the performance of these assets.

The corpus grows with market-linked returns until your retirement at 60. Upon reaching the superannuation age, you can withdraw up to 60% of this accumulated pension corpus as lumpsum while using 40% of the fund to purchase an annuity from a PFRDA-empanelled life insurance firm.

NPS eligibility

Under the All Citizen Model, resident, non-resident, and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) can become NPS subscribers if:

  • They are between the ages of 18 and 70 years on the date of their NPS application submission.
  • They have all the required KYC documents prescribed as per the Subscriber Registration Form (SRF).

Note: NPS subscriptions are not open to Hindu Undivided Families and Persons of Indian Origin.
