pensionNew Delhi: Now Indian Citizens can use their bank account or eAadhaar and permanent account number (PAN) as know your customer (KYC) document to register online for the national pension scheme (NPS).

In a notification on Wednesday, the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority said eAadhaar in addition to bank account and PAN would reduce cost and operational time and ensure more subscribers to the old age income scheme.

Citizens can open an NPS account online through any of the points-of-presence-service provider, using PAN and net banking, with KYC verification by the bank. Possibility of opening duplicate retirement (PRAN) accounts is ruled out online.

Subscribers can also get their PRAN generated by opening their account using Aadhaar number and one-time password from the Unique Identification Development Authority of India (UIDAI).

The subscriber can go to eNPS platform of NPS Trust website (npstrust.org.in) and enter Aadhaar to validate it using OTP (one-time password) sent to mobile.

The subscriber has also to pay online a minimum of Rs.500 for the service as advance and transaction cost.

Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
