On 24 August 2024, the government announced a new employee pension scheme, the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) , effective from 1 April 2025 . Currently, all government employees are covered under the National Pension Scheme (NPS), which provides a pension based on market-linked investments. Before 2004, all government employees received pensions under the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). In 2004, the government introduced the NPS and discontinued the OPS. The government received a backlash from employees for discontinuing OPS. Thus, the government announced the UPS to provide assured pension amounts. However, only employees who are currently subscribers of the NPS, including retirees, can opt for the UPS. Features of UPS
