This will reduce the application processing time. PFRDA is registering Retirement Advisers for widening the coverage of NPS by facilitating on boarding of the subscribers and also providing advisory services to them for allocating assets under NPS and choosing Pension Fund Managers.<br \/>\n\u201cRetirement Adviser\u201d can be any individual, registered partnership firm, body corporate, or any registered trust or society, which desires to engage in the activity of providing advice on National Pension System or other pension schemes regulated by PFRDA to prospects \/ existing subscribers or other persons or group of persons and is registered as such under the PFRDA (Retirement Advisers) Regulations.<br \/>\nNISM and FPSB India are providing necessary certification in order to become eligible for registration as Retirement Adviser.
