FAQ :

NPS Vatsalya is a new pension scheme launched by the Indian government for minors, aimed at securing their financial future and encouraging early savings.

All minor citizens (under 18 years of age) are eligible. The account is opened in the minor's name and operated by a parent or guardian.

Accounts can be opened through various Points of Presence regulated by PFRDA, including major banks, India Post, Pension Funds, and the online platform (e-NPS).
