He or She should comply with all standard requirements for the KYC as mentioned in the subcriber registration form.

Before we check the eligibility criteria of the National Pension System it only makes sense to understand who would be managing these investments on behalf of the investors.
So the concept of a pension fund manager is an Asset Management Company which collects the pension investment funds from investors and invest on behalf of them as per the asset allocation choosen by the investor.
