PFRDA has introduced a Regulatory Sandbox framework allowing controlled testing of innovative pension products and FinTech solutions. The framework balances innovation with strict safeguards for subscriber protection, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance.
PFRDA has introduced the StAR NPS platform to enable a fully digital and assisted onboarding process for NPS subscribers. The framework aims to streamline registration, KYC verification, and contribution processing through PoPs.
The Office Memorandum increases Dearness Relief rates for CPF beneficiaries and eligible family members under the 5th Central Pay Commission structure. Revised DR rates will apply from 01.07.2025 and 01.01.2026.
The issue concerns delays in pension credit caused by banks. The guidelines mandate 8% interest compensation for such delays. The key takeaway is that banks are accountable for timely pension payments.
Accounts with no contributions for four consecutive quarters will be classified as dormant and charged reduced AMC. This lower fee continues until the account becomes active again.
The government clarified that employees under the Unified Pension Scheme are eligible for Fixed Medical Allowance. The key takeaway is parity of benefits with NPS employees under existing rules.
PFRDA introduced multiple NAVs to reflect different fee structures for government and non-government subscribers. The change ensures accurate charge allocation but temporarily restricts certain transactions during transition.
The issue revolved around concerns of exemption removal under the new tax regime. The Government clarified that the exemption continues unchanged, ensuring no adverse impact on eligible defence personnel.
The circular allows PoPs to engage new categories like professionals, fintechs, and rural agents as Pension Agents. The key takeaway is expanded outreach with strict compliance responsibility on PoPs.
Authorities cautioned investors about entities promising monthly returns on deposits without regulatory approval, advising the public to deal only with registered pension intermediaries.
