“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. Under the framework, the contribution can be made by the platform and the worker jointly, by the worker alone, or entirely by the platform or aggregator on behalf of the worker.
