Prithiviraj Senthil Nathan on PFRDA’s Revised Investment Management Fee Structure for NPS

Prithiviraj, commenting in a recent Moneycontrol article on the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority’s (PFRDA) revision of investment management fees for National Pension System (NPS) subscribers, described the move as a measured and balanced regulatory reform.

According to him, the revised slab-based Investment Management Fee (IMF) structure appropriately recognises the differing economies of scale across pension funds while keeping subscriber interests at the centre of the reform. By aligning fee structures more closely with fund size and operational efficiency, the framework seeks to promote fairness without compromising long-term retirement outcomes for subscribers.
He further observed that the revision reflects a calibrated regulatory approach one that supports sustainable pension fund operations while maintaining cost efficiency for investors. The changes, he noted, demonstrate PFRDA’s continued focus on strengthening the NPS ecosystem through proportionate and subscriber-centric regulation.
