NPS opens pension savings route for gig workers with Rs 99Gig workers associated with Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, Ola, Uber and Urban Company can now build a retirement corpus through the National Pension System, with contributions starting at Rs 99. The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), in a post on social media platform X, highlighted the flexibility of the NPS framework for platform workers. “With NPS for Platform Workers, you can start with just Rs 99 and contribute at your own pace with no minimum and no maximum contribution limit,” PFRDA added. The NPS e-shramik (Platform Service Partner) Model was introduced by PFRDA through a circular dated October 29, 2025, to bring gig and platform workers under the NPS framework. The model is broadly aligned with the NPS Corporate Model but has been structured specifically for platform workers.
