The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has formed a high-level Committee to design a framework for assured payouts under the National Pension System (NPS).
The committee has 15 members and is chaired by MS Sahoo, former Chairperson of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI).
Its goal is to create market-based, legally enforceable guidelines for retirement income under NPS.
NPS is a contributory, market-linked pension scheme launched in 2004, with contributions from employees (10%) and the government (14%).
NPS Vatsalya Scheme 2025 provides long-term pension savings for minors, with partial withdrawals allowed for education and medical purposes.
The initiative aims to ensure income certainty after retirement and promote financial security.
