The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) for government employees, which aims to provide an assured pension, family pension, and assured minimum pension. Under the UPS, government employees will receive an assured pension amounting to 50% of the average basic pay drawn over the last 12 months prior to superannuation, provided they have completed a minimum qualifying service of 25 years. The scheme, which is set to benefit 23 lakh Central government employees, will be implemented from April 1, 2025. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the decision, highlighting its significance for employee welfare.
