The cap would be adjusted according to social and economic development as well as how the country's pension system evolves.
The funds in the accounts can be used to purchase financial products that are of relatively lower risk and a longer-term investment horizon, according to the guidelines.
The government will offer tax incentives to encourage participation in the new system, the guidelines said.
