PFRDA Launches NPS Sanchay Pension Awareness Yatra Across Four Cities

The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority is starting a pension-awareness trip called the NPS Sanchay Pension Yatra.

It will visit four Indian cities from 1 October to 16 October 2026.

The campaign will explain how people can save money for retirement.

NPS Sanchay is part of the National Pension System.

It is especially meant to help informal-sector workers, such as farmers, shopkeepers and gig workers.

However, all eligible Indian citizens between 18 and 85 years old can apply.

People can begin investing with ₹250 and later contribute as little as ₹10.

They do not have to make a fixed contribution every year.

At retirement, most of the money can be taken at once, while at least 20% must buy an annuity that provides regular pension income.
