Solve your NPS Queries via WhatsApp – Know How?

Now you can solve any NPS-related queries using WhatsApp. You need not visit the NPS office. The National Pension Scheme (NPS) backed by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has launched a WhatsApp service for NPS subscribers. The NPS Trust shared on Twitter, “Dear Subscribers, NPS Trust is on WhatsApp now to address your queries on NPS!! Connect with us @ 918588852130.” It is a chatbot solution that provides information on WhatsApp.

NPS is National Pension Scheme backed by the government. It is a low-cost investment product that offers market-linked returns and tax benefits. Any Indian resident aged between 18 years to 70 years can open an NPS account. NPS accounts can be opened online as well as offline via Point of Presence (POPs) in banks. 

There are two types of NPS accounts Tier I and Tier II. For more information about NPS accounts, you can refer to my earlier post – How to open eNPS account online?
