The National Pension System by definition is a retirement savings scheme administered and regulated by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).

In August 2021, The Central government had notified that the Aadhaar card is a mandatory identity proof for all people who wish to avail the benefits under the National Pension Scheme (NPS). Aadhaar is a mandatory document for traders and self-employed individuals who are eligible for receiving perks under the state-backed social security scheme.
