The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority has scheduled the PFRDA Grade A Phase 2 examination for Officer Grade A (Assistant Manager) posts on 20 November 2026. Candidates who cleared Phase 1, held on 15 October 2026, are eligible to appear for Phase 2. Phase 2 consists of two papers of 100 marks each: a descriptive English test and a stream-specific objective paper.

The recruitment drive aims to fill 30 vacancies across General, Research, Actuary, and Official Language (Rajbhasha) streams. The revised salary starts at Rs. 62,500, with monthly emoluments of Rs. 2.05 lakh. Phase 2 admit cards are expected between 10 and 13 November 2026. Candidates who clear Phase 2 will proceed to the interview stage, the schedule for which will be announced later.
The 20 November 2026 date sets a tight two-week window between the expected admit card release and the exam. With only 30 vacancies across four streams, the competition will be intense, particularly for the General stream which accounts for 25 of the posts. The descriptive English paper in Phase 2 will test drafting skills, adding a layer beyond objective knowledge. Candidates now have a fixed target date to prepare for the next stage, with the interview schedule still pending.
