Preface

PFRDA extended NPS to the Corporate sector in December, 2011 wherein a Corporate
adopts NPS for all its employees under the employer-employee relationship. The Corporate
entities adopting NPS were facilitated by the POP appointed by the Corporate for all NPS
related services. NPS Trust, in order to facilitate Subscriber Registration and Contribution
Upload online by Corporates, has now made available the eNPS platform to the Corporates.
This document describes the standard operating procedure to be followed by the
Corporates for preparation and upload of contribution file in the CRA system.

1. Introduction:

Now the Subscribers associated with any Corporate registered in CRA can join NPS
through eNPS portal and contribute through the associated Corporate. Corporates shall
prepare the contribution files for the Subscribers and upload the same in the CRA
system. Simultaneously, Corporates shall transfer the clear funds to a designated
account maintained with Trustee Bank. On the basis of contribution details uploaded by
Corporate, CRA will provide fund transfer instructions to the trustee bank as a part of
settlement process..

Corporates shall prepare Subscribers’ Contribution File (SCF) for the clear funds and
upload it to CRA system. SCF will contain details such as CHO Registration number,
Corporate Branch Office (CBO) registration number, PRAN of the Subscriber, amount of
the Subscriber contribution, etc. Corporates shall prepare the SCF only for the
Subscribers who are registered in the CRA system under the same Corporate.

2. Systems Requirements for Corporate:

Pre-Requisites for accessing the CRA system by Corporate:

1. The Corporate should inform CRA about adoption of subscriber contribution


upload alongwith the Digital Signature Certificate details.
2. Valid DSC (Digital Signature Certificates) based User IDs provided by CRA.
3. Minimum IT Infrastructure requirements (as stipulated by PFRDA from time
to time) available at Corporate uploading office.
4. Corporate should have the minimum software/hardware requirement to
access CRA system.
5. The Corporate shall install FPU (File Preparation Utility) & FVU (File
Validation Utility) on a desktop machine whose minimum hardware

Page 3 of 31
requirements are as per CRA requirements. The minimum software and
hardware requirements are listed below:-
a. Browser - Internet Explorer 6.0 and above
b. Java Runtime Environment – JRE 1.5
c. Operating System – Windows 2000 Professional/Windows XP
d. Processor – Intel Pentium PV/Celeron (333 MHz or higher CPU)
e. Memory – Minimum 256 MB RAM

3. Procedure for Installing FPU & FVU:

3.1. File Preparation Utility (FPU):

To facilitate the digitisation and consolidation of the pension contribution details of the
Subscribers, CRA has developed a utility called File Preparation Utility (FPU). It is a JAVA
based utility which can be easily installable on a desktop machine. For ease of use, the
utility is based on the MS Excel format. Corporate can freely download the FPU from
CRA website www.npscra.nsdl.co.in available at Download/Software
download/Utilities. Corporates should ensure that latest version of FPU is being used.
Corporate can get the latest updates of FPU version from CRA website. However, it is not
mandatory for Corporate to use the FPU provided by CRA. Corporate can alternately use
the file formats of FPU and build a utility in their own back office to create the
contribution file. In case Corporates wants to use their own back office to prepare the
file, they may refer to the file formats for FPU which are available at CRA website
www.npscra.nsdl.co.in.

3.2. File Validation Utility (FVU):

FVU is a Java based utility developed by the CRA to ensure that SCF prepared by
Corporate is in conformity with the file formats of CRA. Corporates can freely download
the FVU from CRA website www.npscra.nsdl.co.in available at Download/Software
download/Utilities. Corporates should ensure that latest version of FVU is being used.
Corporate can get the latest updates of FVU version from CRA website. FVU can be
hosted on any Windows PC. The minimum configurations with respect to installation of
FVU are identical to those needed for the FPU. It is mandatory for Corporates to validate
the SCF through FVU before uploading the same to CRA.

3.3. Installation of FPU and FVU:

1) Corporate User shall access the CRA website www.npscra.nsdl.co.in. and download
the FPU & FVU and save it on the local machine.
[Before downloading the FPU & FVU, it is imperative that the Corporate User shall have
to install the latest JAVA version on the machine where the FPU & FVU are to be
installed. If this particular version of JAVA is not installed on the machine, then the FPU

Page 4 of 31
& FVU will not be operational. Corporates can download the required version of JAVA
www.java.com.
2) After successfully downloading the FPU & FVU, on navigating to the folder on the
local machine, where the FPU & FVU are saved, ‘.JAR‛ files will be displayed to the
Corporate User as shown in below Figure 1. To open the same, User will have to double
click on the “.JAR” file.

Figure 1

3) If J2SE version 1.6 update 29/30/31 or more is not installed on the machine, the User
will not be able to open the ‘.JAR‛ file. The system will prompt the Corporate User to
open the file with the help of an application.

4) After successful download and installation of FPU & FVU, Corporate will be able to
use the same for the purpose of creation and validation of the SCF. For assistance in
using the FPU & FVU, User can read the instructions provided in ‘Help Menu’ of the FPU
& FVU.

Summary
 Corporates should be registered with CRA and have valid DSC base User IDs
provided by CRA to access CRA system.
 Corporates should have required IT Infrastructure for preparing Subscriber
Contribution File (SCF) and accessing CRA system.
The File Preparation Utility (FPU) & The File Validation Utility (FVU) can be freely
downloaded from CRA website www.npscra.nsdl.co.in.
 Corporates may use the FPU provided by CRA or its own back office software as per
CRA file formats for preparation of SCF. In either case, the file generated should be run
through the FVU.
The machine on which the FPU and FVU are to be installed should have JAVA JDK
& JRE version 1.6 update 29/30/31 or above.

3) Once User selects the ‘Save’ option on the screen, a confirmation message will be
displayed as shown in below Figure 9, which will also mention the path where the
file is saved. [An Intermediate file will always be saved with an ‘.fpu’ extension.
However, Corporate User cannot validate this intermediate file having ‘.fpu’
extension in FVU or upload to CRA system.]

Figure 9

4) The User can reopen the intermediate file for modifying the existing data or can use
the same to prepare new contribution details. However, User should open the
intermediate file with the same version of FPU. To open the intermediate file, User
has to select the ‘Open‛ option in the File menu.

Page 15 of 31
5) For the purpose of record, it is advisable for the User to create a working directory
containing the year-wise, month-wise, date-wise folders for SCFs prepared.

Creation of Subscriber Contribution File:

1) After complete digitisation of necessary details, the User can create the SCF by
selecting ‘Create File’ button. Once the User selects the ‘Create File’ option, FPU will
prompt the User to save the file on the machine as shown in Figure 10. User shall
select required path and give desired file name having maximum 8 characters.
Figure 10

2) FPU will create an output file having extension .txt. FPU will also create a unique
Batch ID to identify each file. This Batch ID will be displayed to the User in the final
confirmation message shown after successful generation of the file as shown below
Figure 11:

Page 16 of 31
Figure 11

3. While creating a file, FPU will validate the following:


 FPU will check whether User has provided all the mandatory details and data
type of all the fields is correct.
 FPU will check whether the CBO Reg. No., POP Reg. No (mentioned as
5000682) and PRAN are structurally correct.
 FPU will validate whether contribution amount is greater than zero
4. If the FPU encounters any error in the data entered by the User, such as, incorrect
CHO registration number, null contribution amount, it will display an error message
to the User. In all such cases, FPU will not generate any output file. The User will be
required to rectify the errors and create a valid file again

Operating guidelines for preparing Subscriber Contribution File

1) Corporates shall enter the contribution details for the who are associated with them
2) It is mandatory to select the type of Contribution File as ‘Original’ for regular file and
‘Correction’ for correction file. By default it will be ‘Regular’. In case of ‘Correction’
file, Transaction ID is a mandatory field as shown in figure 12

Figure 12

3) User should provide all the mandatory details of the particular record in each line.
FPU will display error message if any of the mandatory field is missing in any record
entry.
4) Negative as well as zero values cannot be entered in the Subscriber contribution
fields.
5) User shall not be allowed to validate with FVU, the intermediate files generated by
FPU. Also intermediate files cannot be uploaded in CRA system.
6) User will be allowed to open the intermediate file only in the same version of FPU
with which it was prepared.

Page 17 of 31
7) User should not tamper the intermediate file as the tampered file cannot be opened
using FPU. In such cases the FPU will display an appropriate error message to the
User.
8) User cannot generate a blank Contribution File having no records. There must be at
least one Subscriber record in a file and all mandatory fields should be entered.
9) The User will have the option to enter the Subscriber name while preparing the file.
This is provided only for operational convenience purpose of Corporates.
10) Corporate User shall not be allowed to upload a FPU generated file having .txt
extension to CRA before validating the same through FVU.
Summary
 Corporates shall prepare Subscriber Contribution File using CRA provided
FPU or its own back office as per file formats of CRA. In either case, the file
generated should be run through the FVU.
 Corporates should use the latest version of FPU.
 The CHO Reg. No., and PRAN provided in the Contribution File should be
active in CRA system.
 Corporates can prepare an Intermediate file using FPU which can be used for
record purpose or carry out further modifications.

4.3 Validation of SCF Using FVU:

After completing the preparation of the SCF using FPU or own back office, Corporate
shall validate the output file with File Validation Utility (FVU) provided by CRA. It is
mandatory for Corporates to validate the file using the FVU provided by CRA. Only the
SCF which is successfully passed through FVU can be uploaded to CRA system. CRA
system will reject the file if the same has not passed through latest version of FVU
before upload to CRA.

To validate the SCF through FVU, the User shall double click on the FVU icon at the path
where FVU is installed. Once the User clicks on the ’FVU.JAR’, the FVU will open as
displayed in below Figure 13:

Page 18 of 31
Figure 13

Input File Name with Path


1) Corporate User shall specify the name (with the .txt extension) of the input file
(including the path) i.e. the name of the SCF to be passed through FVU for validation.
2) The Input file name should not contain any special characters e.g:, “\” or “/” etc and
should not exceed 8 characters.
3) The file to be passed through FVU should be in ‘.txt‛ format only.
4) User can enter the path or he can select the same by clicking the ‘Browse’ button on
the extreme right of the option ‘Input File Name with Path’.

Error/Upload & Control Sheet Report File Path


1) User will have to specify the path where either an ‘error file’ or ‘upload file’ along
with the control total sheet is to be generated and saved by the FVU on successful
completion of validation of the file. It is advisable to use the same path as the input
file path. For error file or upload file, User shall only specify the path and should not
specify any file name. FVU will provide the name for output file by default.
2) User can enter the path or can select the same by clicking the ‘Browse’ button on the
extreme right of the ‘Error/Upload & Control Sheet Report File Path’.
3) It is mandatory for the User to fill both ‘Input File Name with Path’ and
Error/Upload & Control Sheet Report File Path’. ‘Validate’ button will remain
disabled till both fields are not entered properly.
4) After selecting the input and output folder, User should click the ‘Validate’ button to
validate the Subscribers Contribution File. If the file is successfully validated, FVU
will show a message as per below Figure 14 create the upload file with extension
‘.fvu’. FVU will also create a control sheet (an HTML report) in the path specified in
the ‘Error/Upload File Path’ as shown below.

Page 19 of 31
F
igure 14
5) While validating the SCF, FVU will perform the validations as mentioned below:
 FVU will check whether input file is text file having ‘.txt’ extension.
 FVU will check whether User has provided all the mandatory details.
 FVU will check whether the CHO Reg. No., PRAN and receipt number are
structurally correct.
 FVU will check whether for each receipt number and PRAN combination,
there is only one record within a file. In case of Duplicate record with the
same receipt number and same PRAN in the file, FVU will reject the file.
 FVU will check whether ‘Total Subscriber records’ are equal to the total
contribution records for all the Subscribers.
 FVU will check whether ‘Subscribers Control Total’ is equal to the sum of
Subscribers contributions for all the subscribers.
 FVU will validate whether contribution amount is greater than zero and is
not negative.

6) On successful validation, FVU will generate an output file with extension ‘.fvu‛ at
location specified in the field ‘Error/Upload & Control Sheet Report File Path‛
Along with output file, FVU will also generate an ‘.html‛ file showing control totals
(no. of Subscriber records, total contribution, etc.) as shown below in Figure 15:

Page 20 of 31
Figure 15

7) Subscriber contribution file (with ‘.fvu’ extension) is ready for upload in CRA after it
has been successfully passed through FVU.
8) The procedure of validation remains the same for voluntary contribution.

Summary
 Corporate User should validate the file using latest FVU provided by CRA.
 While validating, User should provide the input file name and path along with
Error/Upload Control sheet report path.
 On successful validation of the file, FVU will generate an output file with
extension “.fvu” along with a control total html file.
5.4. Upload of SCF to eNPS System:
4.4. Correction File:

CRA provides Corporate a facility to upload a correction file for any previously uploaded file
which has been accepted by eNPS system and for which Transaction ID has been issued by
CRA. However, User should take note of following points related to correction file:

 Corporate User can upload a correction file when User wants to make any changes in
original file due to any incorrect data.
 User will have to prepare and upload the entire file even if a single record contains
any error.
 The User should note that a correction file can be uploaded only for a file which is
already uploaded and accepted by CRA.
 If a file is rejected by CRA, the User will have to upload a new file and not a
correction file.

Further the user cannot upload a correction file if the original uploaded file is in Matched
and Booked Status at CRA. User can upload the correction file only if the original file is
either in ‘Accepted’ or ‘Match Failed’ status at eNPS.
