With huge untapped potential and privatization of New Pension System (NPS), India's NPS has the potential to reach Rs 12 Trillion in the 12th year of its launch, as per the findings of our new research report, "Indian Pension Fund Market Forecast to 2013".

Our estimation shows that there are close to 80 Million Indian workers who have no social security and most of them can't afford pension plans offered by the Indian life insurers, particularly private life insurers. The minimum premium ranges from INR15000 to INR18000 per annum. However, this premium is much lower (Rs 6000/annum) under the NPS. Thus, New Pension System is quite affordable and makes sense for a country like India, where income disparity is the major concern.

Of this 80 Million, around 16 Million workers are estimated to be "prime prospects", which are likely to start saving immediately, said RNCOS report. Participation rate at this level would produce pension fund of Rs 12 Trillion under the NPS in the 12th year of its operation. If the latent demand for pensions from these groups were fully harnessed, Indian workers would contribute an estimated Rs 57,000 Crore to the NPS in the first full year of operation based on differential capacity to pay by different income group.

"Indian Pension Fund Market Forecast to 2013" is an extensive research report that comprises quality research and in-depth analysis on the pension market in India. It gives a broad overview of the emerging market trends, recent developments and their impact on the market. The report helps clients to identify the leading-edge opportunities, prospective customer base, key players, future outlook and all other factors which are critical for the success of a new entrant in the Indian pension market.
