Reset of IPIN in National Pension System (NPS); Procedure simplified

As per the existing process, Nodal Office (PAOs/Pr.AOs/DTO/DTA) submits a written request to CRA for generation of new IPIN. Upon receipt of the written request, CRA processes the request in the system. Once processed, the new IPIN is printed and the pin mailer is dispatched to the concerned nodal office. CRA has now developed a new functionality wherein Nodal Offices can reset IPIN instantly of its choice.





This functionality allows Nodal Office to reset IPIN by entering the IPIN and getting it authorized by the concerned PrAO/DTA. This functionality will ensure an efficient and faster issuance of IPIN. The IPIN is reset instantly and hence it saves the time required to reissue of physical IPIN in current process. As the IPIN is reset at Nodal Office end, the requirement of dispatching the physical IPIN by CRA does not exists.
