UPS Apply Last Date: Employees of the Central Government who are currently under NPS and want to choose the option of UPS will have to apply by June 30, 2025. The Central Government implemented the Unified Pension Scheme on 1 April 2025. In this scheme brought under the framework of NPS, employees are guaranteed a certain pension. The UPS Pension Scheme is different from the National Pension System (NPS).
If you have done 25 years of job in UPS, then you will get 50 percent of your average basic salary of 12 months as pension every month. Suppose your basic salary was 50,000, then you will get minimum Rs 25,000 as a pension. If someone has done less, but more than 10 years, then he will also get pension. However, the amount will be low. At the same time, the stock market amount under NPS depends on the stock market.
What if you do not apply till the last date?
If the central government employees do not apply for the UPS scheme by June 30, 2025, then they will be kept under NPS by default.
Eligibility for UPS
- The central government employees currently under NPS.
- Those who have completed at least 25 years of service.
- Employees who want to choose the option of UPS, fill the form and submit it to the concerned department.
If an employee does not apply under UPS till June 30, 2025, then he will remain under NPS. If someone selects the option of UPS once, he will not be allowed to go back to NPS. It is said by Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority – PFRDA that it is necessary to choose UPS for the current employees within three months from the date of launch of UPS. That is, by 30 June 2025, they have to decide which scheme to be connected. If the deadline is not carried forward, then June 30 will be considered as the last chance.
