As all of you know that the New Pension Scheme (NPS) was launched in India in the year 2009 and up to now, it has attracted only 30,000 customers from all over the India. NPS has proved total disaster.
However, recently, PFRDA plans another push for a “Struggling’ NPS. It has taken several measures to boost the sales of New Pension System. One such measure is, tied up with ICICI Securities. Thus, now onwards you can open NPS account with ICICIDirect.com online.
And ICICI bank will get Rs.40 per every new account opened via ICICIDirect.com
Here are the key features of “How to pension Scheme account with ICICI?”
All you have to do is, logon to ICICIDirect.com with your login id and password and you will see the NPS option.
