Account Structure
Two tiers of accounts are available:
- Tier‑I: Mandatory retirement account; withdrawals are permitted only on attaining the prescribed retirement age, subject to pension annuity rules.
- Tier‑II: Voluntary savings account; funds can be withdrawn at any time, offering flexibility for liquidity needs.

Subscribers may choose between active choice (individual asset‑class allocation) and auto‑choice (life‑cycle fund) models. Returns are market‑linked and depend on the performance of the underlying asset classes.
