The pensions industry has rejected government proposals to tinker with auto-enrolment (AE) earning thresholds and called for a complete overhaul.

The government has dropped plans to fine savers who access defined contribution (DC) pots under changes announced in the Budget but fail to alert all their previous pension providers.
