The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has made it mandatory for the National Pension Scheme subscribers to update certain documents on the portal of the Central Record Keeping Agency (CRA) as part of efforts to simplify and speedup annuity payments after their exit from NPS. They will need to submit an NPS exit/withdrawal form, identity and proof of address, bank account details and a copy of the Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN). During the investment tenure, one can partially withdraw three times. At maturity, one can withdraw 60 per cent of the NPS corpus, and they will need to invest the remaining 40 per cent in annuities.
