Account Services

Everything you can do with a live NPS account — keep your details current, manage nominees, change how your money is invested, pull statements, and raise service requests. Most of this is self-service through your CRA portal or app; a Point of Presence handles the rest.

Keep your profile current

Update personal and KYC details

Name, address, contact, and bank details are held by your CRA and can be changed online or through a Point of Presence.

Log in to your CRA portal (Protean, KFin, or CAMS) with your PRAN and password. Mobile number, email, and Aadhaar-based address can be updated online with an OTP; a bank-account change needs documentary proof such as a cancelled cheque. If you prefer offline, submit Form S2 at a Point of Presence.

Read more — what needs proof and what doesn’t

Contact details (mobile, email) and Aadhaar-verified address can be self-updated online with an OTP. Changes to name or bank account generally need supporting documents.

Good to know

  • Keep KYC current so contributions, withdrawals, and exit process without holds
  • Bank proof: cancelled cheque showing name, account number and IFSC
  • Offline route: Form S2 (Subscriber Details Change) at a PoP
Who receives the corpus

Add or change a nominee

You can nominate up to three people, with percentage shares that total 100. The online process is fully paperless.

Nomination is captured at registration and can be changed later, online, through the CRA portal. Nomination is mandatory for Tier I and optional for Tier II. The change is authenticated with an OTP and an e-Sign, so no paperwork is needed.

Read more — why nominees matter

Nominee details drive payouts on death. If they are missing or stale, the claim falls back to legal-heir documentation, which slows settlement.

Rules

  • Up to three nominees across Tier I and Tier II
  • Shares must add up to 100%
  • A minor nominee needs a guardian named
  • Fully digital with OTP + e-Sign, or offline via Form S2
How your money is invested

Change pension fund or scheme

Switch Pension Fund Manager, move between Active and Auto Choice, or revise your asset allocation — within the prescribed frequency caps.

Raise an OTP-based request in your CRA portal to change your Pension Fund Manager, switch between Active and Auto Choice, or revise how your contributions are split across the E, C, and G asset classes. Your registered mobile number must be active for the OTP.

Scheme Preference Change

Open the change-scheme option in the portal.

3

Choose your change

Pick a new PFM, switch Active/Auto, or revise allocation.

4

Confirm with OTP

Authenticate the request with the OTP on your mobile.

PFM and scheme-preference changes are capped by PFRDA to discourage performance-chasing. Evaluate a switch over multi-year windows, not one-year returns.
Read more — Active vs Auto Choice

Active Choice lets you set the split across Equity (E), Corporate Debt (C), and Government Securities (G), within the equity cap. Auto Choice runs a lifecycle glidepath that tapers equity as you age.

Lifecycle funds

  • LC75 — aggressive, up to 75% equity to age 35
  • LC50 — moderate, up to 50% equity
  • LC25 — conservative, up to 25% equity
  • PFM change: once per financial year per tier
Track your corpus

View contributions and statements

Pull a Statement of Transaction on demand, or rely on the Annual Transaction Statement the CRA emails you.

Your Statement of Transaction (SoT) shows contributions, units allotted, NAV, switches, and current value. Generate it any time from the CRA portal or app, or wait for the Annual Transaction Statement (ATS) the CRA emails after the financial year. Contributions made via D-Remit can get same-day NAV when received before the cut-off.

SoT

Statement of Transaction

On-demand PDF of contributions, units, NAV and corpus value from the CRA portal.

ATS

Annual Transaction Statement

A yearly summary the CRA emails within a few months of the financial year end.

D-Remit

Contribution & NAV

Direct Remittance gives same-day NAV when the contribution is received before the cut-off.

A contribution shows in the SoT once the CRA reconciles it with the Trustee Bank. D-Remit credits typically clear faster and are eligible for same-day NAV.

Where to get statements

  • CRA portal (Protean / KFin / CAMS) under Transaction Statement
  • CRA mobile app or the UMANG app
  • Annual statement is emailed to your registered address

Raise and track service requests

Most account requests can be raised online and tracked with a reference number; a Point of Presence is the offline fallback.

Requests such as detail changes, Tier II activation, or reissue of credentials can be raised in the CRA portal or app, or submitted at a Point of Presence. Each request is authenticated and generates a reference you can use to track progress to closure.

1

Raise the request

Use the CRA portal or app, or submit at a PoP.

2

Authenticate

Confirm with the OTP on your registered mobile.

3

Get a reference

A request / token number is generated.

4
