NEW DELHI: For all the noise demanding an assurance on pension, Unified Pension Scheme<\/a> (UPS) for central govt employees has received low traction.Data shared with Parliament Monday estimated the number of govt employees, including those who joined recently, at 1,18,195 on July 19 \u2014 which is 4.3% of the 27.6 lakh central govt number subscribers of National Pension Trust at the end of June.For long govt employees, at the Centre as well as in states, were demanding an assurance that the pension payout be at least 50% of their last salary \u2014 something that is the norm under the old pension scheme, which was discontinued in 2004 when NPS, which has contributions from the employee, kicked in.Several opposition-governed states stopped contributing to NPS and wanted to opt out, prompting the Centre to put in place UPS from April 2025. But the response to the migration option remained tepid and forced it to extend the date up to Nov 30, 2025. \u201c\u2026govt allowed central govt employees, who opted for UPS, one-time one-way switch facility to revert to NPS,\u201d finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman told Parliament Monday.<\/p>\n
