PFRDA launches new NPS Central

way2barak, October 20: The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has launched NPS Central, a unified digital platform allowing National Pension System (NPS) subscribers to manage pension accounts, investments and related services through a single interface.

Launched on October 1, 2026, coinciding with NPS Diwas, the platform brings together services offered by three Central Recordkeeping Agencies (CRAs): Protean, KFintech and CAMS.

The initiative aims to simplify access to pension services by reducing the need for subscribers to navigate separate systems for account management, investment information and other transactions.

Existing NPS subscribers can log in using their registered mobile number and date of birth, followed by one-time password authentication. The process does not require users to remember their Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN).

Once authenticated, subscribers can view their accounts, examine investment portfolios across CRAs and access pension-related services through a consolidated dashboard.
