4

Authenticate

Read more — what needs proof and what doesn’t

Field by field, here is what clears instantly and what the CRA holds back for a check.

Good to know

  • Mobile, email and Aadhaar-linked address usually update the moment the OTP is confirmed
  • A name change needs an officially valid document and is verified before it takes effect — it is not instant
  • Keep the name on your NPS record matching your PAN and bank, or contributions and withdrawals can get held up
  • Periodic re-KYC may be sought even when nothing has changed, to keep the account compliant
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.

Up to 3Nominees per account
100%Shares must total
Tier INomination mandatory
OfflineForm S2 at a PoP
1

Log in to CRA

Sign in with your PRAN and password.

2

Open Add/Update Nominee

Go to Update Personal Details, then Add/Update Nominee, and pick Tier I or Tier II.

3

Enter nominees

Add up to three nominees with shares totalling 100%.

4

Authenticate

Submit the OTP and e-Sign to record the change.

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
  • Set at registration and changeable online anytime — mandatory for Tier I, optional for 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 preferencePer PFRDA caps

1

Log in to CRA

Sign in with your PRAN and password.

2

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.
Track your corpus

View contributions and statements

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.

Read more — reconciling contributions

A contribution is not credited the instant you pay — it appears only after the CRA reconciles the money received from the Trustee Bank and allots units at the applicable NAV.

Why the timing varies

  • A regular contribution via a PoP or eNPS takes a day or two to reflect once the funds are confirmed
  • D-Remit, paid to your virtual account before the cut-off, gets same-day NAV — the fastest route
  • If a credit is still missing well past the usual window, first check the payment actually debited, then raise a grievance quoting the transaction reference
  • Beyond the CRA portal and app, your statements are also available through the government UMANG app
Get things done

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 & get a reference

Confirm with the OTP on your registered mobile; a request / token number is generated.

3

Track it

Follow status on the CRA portal or via the call centre.

4

Resolution

The request is actioned within the applicable timeline.
