<h1>Major food-delivery platform and pension manager launch NPS Platform Workers Model to onboard gig delivery workers with digital eKYC</h1> A major food-delivery platform, a corporate NPS Point of Presence and pension fund manager, and the Central Recordkeeping Agency for the National Pension System have launched an 'NPS Platform Workers Model' to onboard platform delivery workers into the NPS framework. Launched at a PFRDA event, the model leverages digital eKYC with worker consent to generate PRANs, offers small flexible contributions, portability, lump-sum and pension benefits at retirement, and targets rapid scale-up of accounts. The arrangement relies on existing PFRDA licensing of the pension manager and CRA, enhances regulatory-compliant access to retirement savings for gig workers, and raises data-consent and implementation oversight considerations.
