PFRDA to expand the reach of pension system

Though, the scheme was opened in May 2009 for all individuals, till now it has managed to attract only about 3,000 subscribers and the pension fund regulator found out that the weak link was in the distribution or the point of presence (PoP). The NPS was initially open to central government employees, who joined service after 1 April, 2004. It was subsequently extended to private individuals in May 2009.
The new PoPs are expected to add another 2,000 branches to the 880-branch network, where subscribers can open and operate their NPS accounts. With IT connectivity a pre-requisite for handling NPS customers, the new points of presence require some time for identifying branches that can function as service providers for the scheme. "We have just signed an agreement with these PoPs but they will be operational in another two to three months," a senior PFRDA official said.
The biggest attraction of the scheme is the low fund management fee it charges - 0.009 percent against nearly 2.25 percent charged by mutual funds. It charges a fixed annual account maintenance fee of
350 and an additional 20 per transaction. The scheme has three plans with different exposure to equities. In the first eight months of its operations, the scheme is giving 10-12 percent returns, depending on the plan chosen by the subscriber.
