Recently, the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) permitted NPS subscribers to use the UPI QR code to directly deposit their contributions through the D-Remit process. Young, tech-savvy subscribers will find this initiative appealing as it improves efficiency and accessibility in line with current trends.
The use of QR codes by businesses has actually increased dramatically over the past few years. To utilize a QR code, all you need is a smartphone with a camera—which is practically a requirement in today’s world. Users are not required to input multiple pieces of information or remember complicated account numbers. The ease with which QR codes can be used for payments has led to their widespread use across a range of sectors and geographical areas. Restaurants have been utilizing QR code menus for a long time; in fact, they’ve become quite popular.

“The integration of UPI and QR codes for D-Remit (Direct Remittance) would facilitate the accessibility, effectiveness, and adaptability of NPS contributions.” Through this PFRDA initiative, NPS subscribers will be able to take charge of their retirement funds and reap the rewards of methodical investment planning. Subscribers can transfer their contributions using the UPI QR Code under this new system. According to Kurian Jose, CEO of Tata Pension Management, “the subscriber must set up his virtual D-Remit account with the Trustee bank of the NPS architecture” in order to enable the same.
Kurian believes that PFRDA’s move to implement QR codes for NPS (National Pension System) contributions through UPI-enabled apps is a positive move and in line with current trends. Using QR codes to make payments offers a number of conveniences, including speed, simplicity, and versatility. These benefits will improve subscribers’ overall NPS experience.
In order to take advantage of the power of compounding, one must start contributing as soon as they begin earning. The National Pension System (NPS) is a defined contribution savings mechanism, and the retirement corpus is dependent on the time that the retirement amounts have been given. These days, young people believe that financial and retirement planning is a complicated process best left for people who are at least 40 to 50 years old. Unfortunately, it might be too late for the same by then. Thus, it is necessary to use technology to communicate in the language of the youth, according to Kurian.
