NPS has built-in deficiencies
emanating from:
- Its introduction without legal mandate about ten years back and remaining in suspended animation without clarity on its structure and future.
- The scheme’s inability to attract members from outside the captive clientele, namely new employees who joined government and public sector employees who joined service after December 31, 2003. Of the NPS corpus of about 40,000 crore only 12 per cent is from outside this category.
