<h1>PFRDA eases NPS partial withdrawal rules; now possible after 3 years, limited to 25% of contributions.</h1> The Pension Fund Regulatory Development Authority (PFRDA) has eased the rules for partial withdrawals under the National Pension Scheme (NPS). Subscribers can now make partial withdrawals after three years of joining, instead of the previous ten-year requirement. Withdrawals are limited to three times during the subscription period and capped at 25% of the contributions in the subscriber's account. These changes are part of the PFRDA (Exits and Withdrawals under the National Pension System) (First Amendment) Regulations 2017. This update was disclosed by a government official in response to a query in the Rajya Sabha.
