investment options, allowing parents to make investment of Rs. 1,000 annually in the name of the child, 
thus making it accessible to families from all economic backgrounds.

step in India’s pension system. The Scheme will be run under the Pension Fund Regulatory and 
Development Authority (PFRDA).

financial planning and security for all. It’s a big step toward making India’s future generations more 
financially secure and independent.
