What is India's Unified Pension Scheme (UPS)?
Launched on April 1, 2025, the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) is a hybrid pension system designed for central government employees in India. It combines the safety of the old pension scheme (OPS) with the contribution structure of the national pension system (NPS). Under the UPS, employees receive a guaranteed pension based on their service and basic pay, rather than a purely market-linked return.
Key Benefits of the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS)?
1. Assured Pension: 50% of the average basic pay of the last 12 months for a minimum of 25 years of service. Pro-rata pension is available for service between 10 and 25 years. 2. Minimum Guaranteed Pension: ₹10,000 per month for a minimum of 10 years of service. 3. Assured Family Pension: 60% of the employee's pension upon their death. 4. Dearness Relief (DR): Inflation indexation applied to the monthly pension, similar to active employees. 5. Retirement Lump Sum: In addition to gratuity, retirees receive a lump sum equal to 1/10th of basic pay + DA for every completed 6 months of service.
