To meet PFRDA’s overarching mandate for increasing financial literacy with special emphasis to concepts of pension and retirement PFRDA has recently launched the website Pension Sanchay (wwwpeiisionsanchay.org.in). You would be glad to know that the website was launched by Hon’ble Finance Minister Sh Arun Jaitleyji on February 28th 2018 at the 4th Annual Pension Conference. The website is receiving good attention from the general public and till date it has garnered visits of approx. 15000 visiloi s.
- Ramadoria Committee Report on Indian Household Finance, released in July 2017,has found that
one third of the households surveyed hadn’t even started planning for their retirement. The Report further highlights that Indian households make lower allocations to any form of retirement savings than their counterparts overseas. PFRDA understands that this situation of non-initiation of savings and investing and skewed allocations to retirement further highlights the need for some mechanism to address the requirement of awareness building in this regard. - Taking the same into account, the Pension Sanchay has been prepared with topics related to
fundamentals of money, importance of saving and investment, need of retirement planning from a fundamental and conceptual level. Furthermore, the website features proprietary calculators like Compounding Effect calculator, Real Return Calculator, How much one needs to retire calculator and Savings & Investment Calculator. In addition, the website features a blog section as well, where articles/ blogs on the aforementioned topics are presented.
