What are the mandatory details to be provided in the Subscribers registration form?
The section of Personal and employment details are mandatory, However, some of the fields in these sections are not mandatory e.g. details of PAN. Nomination and scheme preference details are optional and can be provided any time after registration. If the Subscriber does not provide any scheme preference details, his contribution will be invested in the default scheme as specified by PFRDA. As per the present guidelines of Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), contribution towards pension will be invested in the default Schemes termed Scheme of various Pension Fund Managers in the proportion of 85% in fixed income instruments and 15% in equity and equity related instruments. Hence, in the application form for PRAN, the details of the schemes need not be mentioned.
