Paper Work: Updating details in the NPS - Economic Times

A subscriber of the National Pension System (NPS) needs to record any change in signature in the NPS database. An updated photograph can also be recorded using the same procedure. For any of these changes, the subscriber needs to use Form UOS-S7. This form is available with the POP-SP (point of presence service provider) or can be downloaded from the NPS website at http://tinyurl. com/qj2wbv7. Information The subscriber needs to indicate whether the request is for change in signature or for updating the photograph. If the request is for the latter, a recent colour photograph of 3.5 cm x 2.5 cm needs to be affixed. Verification The NPS subscriber needs to visit the office of the POP-SP in person and submit the form along with a copy of the PRAN card. On receipt of the form, the POP-SP shall affix the stamp of 'Verified in person' with the date as well as the name and signature of the authorised official of the POP-SP who has done the verification. Process The POP-SP will forward the request to the central recordkeeping agency (CRA) for updating records for the new signature and/or photograph. The CRA shall print a new PRAN card and dispatch it to the subscriber's address. Conditions The POP-SP accepts request for change of signature or photograph only from a subscriber associated with it. Points to note - The signature/thumb impression of the applicant should be inside the rectangle provided on the application form. It must be the lefthand thumb impression for males and the right-hand thumb impression for females. - The photograph should be clearly visible and should not have any marks, stamps and signatures across or on it.
