Central Government Employee

Government employees who are mandatorily covered under NPS are required to submit the duly filled CSRF (Common Subscriber Registration Form) along with supporting documents to the associated DDO (Drawing and Disbursement Officer). DDO after authorization of form forwards it to PAO (Pay and Accounts officer) for onward submission to CRA-FC (CRA Facilitation Center) for PRAN generation.

• Central KYC (CKYC), a unique initiative of the Government of India (GoI) to empower NPS Subscribers/ financial investors to complete their KYC only once for interacting with multiple service providers across the financial sector under the ambit of various Regulators

• The objective of CKYCR is to ease the process of opening account with financial service provider (in this case PFRDA)

• CKYC is a 14-digit number allotted by CERSAI to a subscriber post completion of the CKYC formalities.

Carry your CKYC number for opening of NPS account

• Your KYC details are uploaded within 10 days of opening the account to CKYC Records Registry and a unique CKYC Number is generated.

• Seek your CKYC number from Bank/PoPs.

• You can then quote CKYC number as proof of KYC. No need to carry KYC documents again.
