NPS virtual account benefits:

With the help of a virtual account, you can transfer money from the pension account to the account of the subscriber. Also, it can be used to directly transfer money from your bank account to the Trustee Bank. 

Virtual IDs can be created by current NPS customers through the

portal. The subscriber will receive the virtual ids through SMS and email after approval.

According to a circular issued by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority, all NPS subscribers (government, non-government, and all citizens) who wish to make voluntary contributions using D-Remit should visit the CRA system and generate a Virtual ID linked to their PRAN. 

After the Virtual ID has been authorised, subscribers can access their net banking accounts and add the Virtual ID created as a beneficiary with the NPS virtual account IFSC code, UTIB0CCH274 to transfer funds via NEFT, RTGS, or IMPS for their voluntarily made contributions.
