Grievance Redressal Policy

Kniru Technologies Private Limited (“Kniru”) strongly believes in consistently providing the best experience to our customers. Despite our utmost care in services, negative customer experiences sometimes occur and must be handled with priority and care. We believe that quick and effective handling of complaints is essential to provide excellent customer service and we work tirelessly to achieve that level of experience for our customers.

As a part of its customer service policy, Kniru has established a Grievance Redressal Policy (hereinafter referred to as “the Policy”). The Policy aims to ensure that:

  • All grievances raised by customers and subscribers are resolved in a fair, transparent and timely manner.
  • All grievances are handled courteously and professionally by the designated officials of Kniru.
  • All grievances are recorded, monitored and reviewed periodically for improvement of service quality.

Definition of grievance

A grievance means any communication that expresses dissatisfaction about an action or lack of action, about the standard of service or deficiency of service of an intermediary or entity who is registered with the Authority and who has an obligation to redress the grievance.

Scope of grievance redressal

The Policy covers all grievances arising out of the services offered by Kniru. The Policy does not cover grievances arising out of the services offered by other intermediaries or entities under the NPS, such as:

  • Central Recordkeeping Agency (CRA)
  • Pension Funds (PFs)
  • Trustee Bank (TB)
  • Annuity Service Providers (ASPs)

For such grievances, the customers and subscribers are advised to approach the respective intermediaries or entities directly or through the CRA.
