Help Needed: Switching Trading Accounts with NPS Account Constraints

My company mandates trading with a specific broker, requiring me to transition to Zerodha as my other broker is not approved. However, my NPS account (managed by KFintech) is also tied to the same broker. Since I can’t close my NPS account within the first year, will changing the POP to Zerodha resolve this issue? If not, what alternatives are available to close the existing broker account because cannot really have this account open.
