As per the notification, banks and non-banks can act as PoPs to on-board NPS subscribers. This would require only single Registration for NPS, instead of multiple registrations earlier, and can operate with just one branch with wider digital presence. The timeline for disposing off applications has been reduced from 60 days to 30 days.
The simplification is in line with Union Budget 2023-24 announcement to review regulations to reduce the cost of compliance and enhance the ease of doing business. The Point of Presence are entities appointed by the PFRDA to provide services to all the citizens of India to open and operate their NPS accounts. The functions are performed through their network of branches called PoP service providers [POP-SPs]. The operations of these POP-SPs are coordinated and controlled by the POP.
