The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has mandated two-factor Aadhaar-based authentication for password-based users accessing the CRA system in the National Pension System (NPS).

Effective from 1 April 2024, this security measure aims to fortify NPS transactions, safeguarding subscribers and stakeholders. The new protocol, announced via circular on 15 March 2024, requires Aadhaar-based login alongside the existing user ID and password process.

This integration ensures two-factor authentication for accessing the CRA system. Subscribers can only access their accounts post-31 March after completing Aadhaar-based authentication and entering the OTP sent to their registered mobile numbers.
