National Pension System

Civil Service employees who were in service prior to 2004 can benefit from pensions under both the Civil Service Pension Scheme and the General Provident Fund. They were created in 1972 and in 1981 respectively. This was a fixed benefit program which employees could not contribute to and it was paid for by the general budget of the state. In order to be eligible for pension benefits, one has to be employed for at least ten years , and the retirement age was the age of 58. The pensioner was paid 50% of their final salary as a monthly pension. Due to the financial burden this system was putting on the finances of the government, it was eliminated for civil service new employees in 2004 and was replaced with the National Pension System. It is the National Pension System (NPS) is an established pension system managed and controlled through the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) which was established through the Act by the Parliament of India. The NPS began with the decision taken by the Government of India to stop defined benefit pensions to all employees who joined the system after the 1st of January, 2004. The employee pays 10% of his pay to the NPS while employers contribute a matching amount. When the retirement age the employee is able to withdraw 60percent of this sum in one lump sum, while 40% of the money must be used in order to purchase an annuity which will be used to pay an annual pension. The system attempts to reach an objective that is 50% or more of final salary paid by the employee. The system is obligatory for civil servants of all ranks, however it is not mandatory for all other employees. The General Provident Fund Scheme, employees must contribute at least 6% of their gross earnings and receive an assurance of a return of 8percent. The employee can take out the lump sum when they retire.
