Now you will get a pension even after 20 years of service. The government has changed the rules of UPS; these employees will benefit

A big change has been made by the government in the Unified Pension Scheme. Now, millions of employees of the country are going to get a big relief regarding retirement. Know the complete details.

After the job is over, the biggest concern for the employees is retirement planning and pensions. In India, there are currently two options for this: NPS and UPS. Unified Pension Scheme i.e. UPS, has been implemented in the country on 1 April 2025 this year. Now the government has taken a big decision regarding the Unified Pension Scheme. The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions has changed the rule related to UPS.

Now if an employee completes 20 years of regular job. Then he will get the right to full pension. The demand to reduce the old limit was being raised by the employees for a long time. Which has now changed. This change will benefit millions of central employees. Let us tell you which employees will get the benefit of this. .

Earlier the limit was this many years

Earlier the rules for getting pension were a little strict. In the Unified Pension Scheme, the right to get full pension was available only when an employee completed 25 years of service. Meaning even if someone worked for 24 years. Then he did not get the full benefit.

For this reason, for a long time, employee organizations were demanding that the pension limit be reduced. They said that it is not easy for everyone to work continuously for 25 years. Now the government has agreed to their demand and has reduced this limit to 20 years. This will give great relief to the employees.

These employees will benefit

This decision of the government will directly benefit those government employees who come under the Unified Pension Scheme. Till now 25 years of service was necessary to get full pension. But now full benefit will be available only after working for 20 years. Its biggest impact will be on those employees.

Who were not able to complete 25 years of service due to some reason. Such as health problem, family responsibility or taking retirement in between. Now they will also get full pension guarantee after retirement. This is a big gift for lakhs of central employees before Diwali.

These facilities will also be given

Employees who choose UPS will get some other facilities along with pension. If an employee becomes disabled during the job, he will get the benefit of pension. On the other hand, if he dies during service, his family will get a secure pension.

If the family wants, they can choose the option of either CCS Pension Rules or UPS rules. This means that not only after retirement, but even in case of any untoward incident during the job, the employee and his family will get financial security.
