Unified Pension Scheme: What will be the minimum pension of a central govt employee under UPS after 8th Pay Commission?

With the Centre announcing the formation of the 8th Pay Commission, the focus of central government employees has shifted to the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS). Government employees will see significant changes in their pensions under the National Pension System (NPS) and the UPS once the recommendations of the new pay panel are implemented next year.

The Modi government has approved the 8th Pay Commission, bringing significant relief to over 1.2 crore central government employees and pensioners. These employees and pensioners were keenly awaiting a comprehensive revision of their salaries and pensions.

Ahead of the Union Budget 2025, the move has brought cheer to millions of families with members either employed in central government service or retired after serving.

What is UPS, and when will it be implemented?

The Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) is designed to combine the key features of both the Old Pension Scheme and the New Pension Scheme, offering government employees a comprehensive retirement cushion.

The scheme, expected to be implemented on April 1, 2025, will include provisions such as a family pension, a guaranteed pension amount, and a minimum pension for all central government employees.

Under this pension scheme, employees will be entitled to a guaranteed pension amount equivalent to 50% of the average basic pay for the 12 months preceding their retirement, provided they have served the central government for at least 25 years. Also, the minimum pension under this scheme will be Rs 10,000 per month for employees, provided the employee completes at least 10 years of service upon superannuation.
