Can We Contribute to NPS Using QR Codes and RuPay Credit Cards

Can I contribute to the National Pension System (NPS) using a QR code and pay with a RuPay credit card? I tried it, and the amount was debited, but the payment failed in Google Pay. Could it be because credit cards aren’t allowed?

@Sreenath Yes, you can contribute to NPS using a QR code for Tier 1 and 2 accounts if your instant pay account is activated. However, credit card payments aren’t supported via QR code—only bank accounts can be used. You can still use a RuPay credit card to pay for Tier 1 contributions directly on the NPS website.
