KFintech Enables Instant Healthcare Withdrawals Under NPS Swasthya with Apollo 24/7

KFin Technologies Limited (KFintech), a Central Recordkeeping Agency (CRA) under the National Pension System (NPS), has enabled instant withdrawals for medical expenses under the NPS Swasthya Scheme.

The facility has been developed in partnership with Apollo 24/7 and is available as a payment option on the Apollo 24/7 app and portal.

What Is NPS Swasthya?

The NPS Swasthya Scheme was launched by ICICI Prudential Pension Funds. It allows subscribers to use part of their NPS contributions to pay for eligible medical expenses.

The remaining retirement corpus stays invested, helping individuals manage healthcare costs without disturbing their long-term retirement planning.

How the System Works

Subscribers can link their NPS Swasthya account with the Apollo 24/7 app and make payments for medical services, almost like a UPI transaction.

As the CRA, KFintech handles:

• Account validation
• Transaction processing
• Secure unit redemption as per NPS rules
• Direct settlement with healthcare providers

This ensures transparency, compliance, and smooth processing within the regulated NPS framework.

Registration and Access

Investments in NPS Swasthya can be made through:

• The Apollo 24/7 app
• The ICICI Prudential Pension Funds website

Role of Technology in Pension Innovation

According to KFintech’s management, the initiative shows how technology can make retirement solutions more flexible while maintaining governance and compliance.

The digital infrastructure ensures secure validation, rule-based processing, and clear audit trails, safeguarding subscribers’ retirement savings.
