PFRDA is planning a nationwide training programme for all the government and non-government nodal offices primarily to increase the awareness and expand the reach of NPS into the nooks and corners of the country.

PFRDA organises its POP conference on National Pension System; Chairman, PFRDA stresses upon the need to expand the coverage of pension sector across the informal sector in the country which occupies almost 90% of the workforce

Pension Fund Regulatory Development Authority (PFRDA) organised its POP

Conference on National Pension System here today. The prime objective of the Conference was to provide a platform to discuss and deliberate on key issues encountered in the coverage of pension sector, the budget announcements relating to the tax benefits and the need and ways to expand the pension coverage across the country. The Conference saw an active participation of all the major Public and Private Sector Banks and the non-Bank Point Of Presence (POPs). In the inaugural address, Dr Badri S Bhandari, Whole Time Member, PFRDA welcomed the participants and brought to fore the scope of improvement vis a vis performance of the POPs in expanding the coverage of NPS in the Private and Corporate segment while acknowledging the good work done by some of the POPs. Currently, the unorganised (all citizen segment) and the Corporate sector comprises of only 5.6% of the subscribers and 9.0% of the AUM under NPS and only 7500 out of 55600 POP branches i.e. 13%, are active in sourcing NPS accounts. He emphasised the need for the activation of all the branches of POPs who are the eyes and face of the system and awareness creation and quality service to the subscribers. He informed that PFRDA is exploring the development of NPS module linked with core banking solutions of the Banks in line with the APY module.

Shri Hemant G. Contractor, Chairman, PFRDA, in the keynote address, stressed upon the need to expand the coverage of pension sector across the informal sector in the country which occupies almost 90% of the workforce. India has the highest percentage of informal workforce in the world, which is largely uncovered by any pension scheme. The demographic changes impacting the need to provide for pension includes increasing longevity, nuclear families and the ever increasing proportion of old age people, especially women whose longevity is higher. These factors have brought the issue of pension centre stage in most of the policies of nations worldwide. NPS has the advantage of market commensurate returns, flexible options, transparency and low cost. He also added that effort was required to meet the challenges facing the unorganised sector including low awareness, low income levels and the lack of long term vision to save for the future. Moreover, 10% of the senior citizen population in the world resides in India and this number would increase from current 100 million to 300 million by 2050 and hence the sense of urgency to expand the coverage to meet the challenge of exponentially increasing fiscal pension liability. PFRDA is planning a nationwide training programme for all the government and non-government nodal offices primarily to increase the awareness and expand the reach of NPS into the nooks and corners of the country.

The event was graced by presentations by eminent partner and tax expert Mr Kuldip Kumar, PricewaterhouseCoopers Pvt. Ltd. and Mr Kulin Patel, Actuary and Analyst, Willis Towers Watson. The eminent speakers brought to light various tax benefits available under NPS especially section 80CCD (1) and 80 CCD (1B).For Corporates, NPS entails no additional costs but offers attractive tax benefits. NPS stands at a very advantageous position in comparison to superannuation funds and there is a need to spread the awareness about benefits under NPS. An award function was also hosted during the conclave during which awards were distributed to the best performing Points of Presence for their performance in the National Pension System during 2015-16. HDFC Securities Limited received the award for being the best POP under All citizen model, Corporate model and Private sector. State Bank Of India won the award under the category of highest POP branches activation. ICICI Securities Ltd won under the category of best POP-branch with highest subscriber registration. Currently, NPS has more than 1.20 crore subscribers with total Asset Under Management (AUM) of more than Rs.1.20 Lakh crore.

Recharge your Metro Smart Card the Mobile Way on Delhi Metro

New Delhi: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) today launched a top up (recharge) facility of Metro Smart Cards through ICICI Bank Business Correspondent Network (Outlets) located across the Delhi and NCR region.

“These outlets are not to be mistaken with ICICI bank branches. They are outlets which can be located at your neighbouring mobile recharge shop or some other store enabling you to add value to your card in a way mobile top ups are done,” a metro spokesman said.

A metro statement elaborated the process as part of which a customer will have to provide the Metro Smart Card Number (at the back panel of the card), the recharge amount in cash (minimum is Rs. 100 and maximum Rs. 3000 at present) and mobile number to the agent at the outlet.

But the only hurdle is that recharges done through this route will have to be validated by tapping the card in add value machines (AVM-white colour machine) installed near customer care centre of selected stations.

DMRC data says, about 70 per cent of metro commuters use smart cards presently while around 16,000 smart cards are sold every day from the various stations of the 190 km long network.
