The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has mandated that certain documents be uploaded by subscribers as of April 1, 2023 in order to speed up and simplify annuity payments after leaving the National Pension System (NPS).
"In the interest of Subscribers and to benefit them with the timely payment of annuity income, the upload of the documents shall be mandatory with effect from 1st April 2023," PFRDA, a regulatory body for the overall supervision and regulation of pensions in India had earlier said.
