PRAN Card is Permanent Retirement Account Number Card.
It is a 12 digit unique identity number issued to persons who register under national pension scheme (NPS).
NPS is governed by Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).
NSDL has entered into an agreement with PFRDA for setting a Central Book Keeping Agency (CRA) wherein all the details of members of NPS are stored.
So NSDL is authorized to issue PRAN.
Applying for PRAN is the first step for having NPS registration.
It is just like to have a PAN card before filing your income tax return.
The following chart shows how the structure of NPS
Steps for How to Apply PRAN Card Online
Step 1: keep all required documents for PRAN with you.
The documents required for PRAN are as follows:
- ‘Permanent Account Number’ issued by income tax department

Hi Harish,
Today I had open my NPS account and I had received my PRAN number. As soon as possible I will forward the PRAN form to the CRA office. Once the form is received to CRA office in how many days I will be getting my PRAN KIT ?? I had checked on some sites might be it will be coming in 20 days but I had saw many comments and complaints that many people haven’t received the PRAN kit even they had received their PRAN number or applied for the PRAN long back.
Also, I need to show the NPS contribution in my Income Tax submission proof. So, Can I show the account opening receipt of NPS which I had received after NPS registration ??
In my Income Tax Supporting documents – Can I submit only one receipt which shows that I am investing money in the whole year as per my declaration.
For Ex- If I had declare I am investing Rs. 12k in NPS & Rs.12k in PPF. So, Can I submit only account opening receipt for time being and rest money I will be invest before the end of financial year i.e March or I need to submit the receipt from April to current month ((individual receipt of each declaration) for showing my ITR supporting documents.
Is govt employee can apply for PRAN online without head office sign or stamp or forwarding???
I filled the form online and took the required printout. But in the printout, one the second page, nomination details didn’t appear. The nominations are filled properly and appear on the additional information page in the form. Should I fill the nomination details and then post or is it ok if I post directly?
