The Central Government
had introduced the National Pension System (NPS) with effect from January 01,
2004 (except for armed forces). Pension Fund Regulatory and Development
Authority (PFRDA), the regulatory body for NPS, finalised the architecture and
appointed NSDL as Central Recordkeeping Agency (CRA) and other entities for
National Pension System. Subsequently, various State Governments adopted this
architecture and implemented NPS with effect from different dates.
In NPS, a government
employee contributes towards pension from monthly salary along with matching
contribution from the employer. The funds are then invested in earmarked
investment schemes through Pension Fund Managers.
Scheme Information
As per the present
guidelines of Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority(PFRDA),
contribution towards pension will be invested in the default schemes for State
Government of three Pension Fund Managers (PFMs), viz, LIC Pension Fund
Limited, SBI Pension Funds Pvt. Limited and UTI Retirement Solutions Limited.
The proportion in which contributions are allocated among these three PFMs is
decided by each of the state government, which in mentioned in the Statement of
Transaction. Each of the PFMs will invest the funds in the proportion of 85% in
fixed income instruments and 15% in equity and equity related instruments.

State Autonomous Bodies need not mention the details of the schemes.
