- Ensure that your Cheque/DD is drawn in favour of “POP (Name of the POP) Collection Account – NPS Trust” and it must be crossed as A/c payee only. Always check that there is sufficient balance in your bank account before you submit the Cheque.
- If you are making a cash contribution of Rs. 50,000 or above, it is necessary to enclose a copy of your PAN.
- Each contribution, whether it is under Tier I or Tier II, is treated as a separate transaction and will incur charges accordingly. For detailed information on the charge structure, please refer to the PFRDA offer document at www.pfrda.org.in.
