Till date, nearly 9000 accounts are opened across various Accounting formations (refer to Annexure I) of the Central Government & State Government. The data related to accounts opened through non-e-NPS channels for the corresponding period also provided. Currently e-NPS Govt is largely used by Central Autonomous Bodies (CAB) followed by Civil & Defence Ministries.

The major benefits of e-NPS Govt. are faster account opening, higher efficiency and brings operational finesse to the nodal offices due to the paperless process & optimizing their time due to non-deposit of the physical account opening forms to CRA FC which are collected in other modes of acct opening. Since e NPS – Government significantly reduces the turnaround time (TAT) for Acct opening, the monthly contributions of NPS for the employees can be invested timely which lead to higher investment returns for the benefit of Subscribers.
