NPS or National Pension Scheme subscribers who want to withdraw are required to submit duly filled-up withdrawal forms along with supporting documents to the associated nodal officers or point of presence service providers for processing their request.But due to the current covid-19 pandemic situation, considering that the subscribers may not be in a position to submit the physical exit documents, the nodal offices or point of presence service providers have been advised to accept the scanned and self-certified images of documents through digital means as a special case and process their requests.
This was said by pension regulator PFRDA (Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority) in a recent circular.The requests can be received.
