How Aadhaar details are processed for online opening of the Individual Pension Account under NPS?

An individual opting to open the online Individual Pension Account using Aadhaar details must have his/her mobile number registered with Aadhaar because after providing the Aadhaar number in the eNPS portal, a One Time Password (OTP) needs to be generated from Aadhaar which is sent to his/her mobile number registered with Aadhaar for authentication purposes. On authenticating the OTP received from Aadhaar in the eNPS portal, the individual’s KYC details (demographic and photograph) as recorded with Aadhaar database gets auto populated on the online application form. Only the photograph is allowed to be replaced/substituted in the online application form if he/she desires to upload a different photograph. Other mandatory fields are required to be filled compulsorily for completing the account opening process and subsequent generation of Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN)
