The Cabinet has allowed for 49% of FDI in pensions which will amend the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) Bill. The amendment also provides for a promotional, developmental and regulatory authority that would overlook the pension funds and PRFDA may likely become a full-time regulator. Also, the amendment has introduced New Pension Scheme (NPS) which would include government employees joining after January, 2004, and Rs. 15444 crore has been generated from it.
