The finance minister introduced a new type of pension scheme for minors where parents can contribute to their children's future retirement.
The new pension scheme for minors is called the NPS Vatsalya.
This regular contribution can made by parents or guardians.
The scheme will get converted to regular NPS once the child attains the age of 18.
The National Pension Scheme (NPS) is a voluntary pension system for all citizens, including both residents and NRIs between the ages of 18 and 70 years.
