PFRDA has now decided to extend the option of contribution into NPS (National Pension System) through D-Remit to NRI-NPS subscribers, who can contribute to their NPS accounts from funds in their Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) or Non-Resident External Account (NRE) accounts, it said in a release.

Also, at the time of withdrawal, the proceeds of NPS shall be credited into NRO/NRE account of NRI subscribers, and repatriation would be done as per applicable FEMA guidelines, PFRDA said.

D-Remit offers a convenient mode of depositing voluntary contributions into NPS and also optimises the long-term retirement wealth creation by offering same-day NAV (net asset value), it added. Through this, periodic NPS contributions can be automated for any defined amount and for any defined date from the subscribers bank account.

Under D-Remit, the contributions received at trustee bank before 9.30 am on any bank working day are considered for same-day investment.

PFRDA had rolled out the D-Remit feature for automatic contributions in October 2020.

Till date, 1.23 lakh D-Remit IDs have been created by NPS subscribers to avail the benefit of D Remit and same-day investment, said the regulator.

PFRDA said more than Rs 130 crore of NPS voluntary contributions have been deposited into NPS by using D-Remit in the past four months.
