Benefits of UPS Pension Plan
- After retirement, the Central Government will give 50% of the basic salary of the last 12 months as pension to the government employees. But only those employees will be able to avail this benefit who have worked for at least 25 years.
- In case of death of a government employee receiving pension, the family will be given approximately 60% of the pension he would be receiving at that time. This will ensure financial security of the family.
- Government employees who have served for 10 years will be given at least Rs 10,000 as pension every month. However, this amount will be increased over time keeping in view the inflation rate.
- The government will also give dearness relief allowance to the employees who retire. This allowance will be provided on the basis of All India Consumer Price Index.
UPS Pension Vs NPS
Along with the Unified Pension Scheme, the government has also given the option of NPS to government employees. But it is also clear that many features of UPS are much better than NPS. You will understand properly by comparing these two schemes:-
Role of Government in New Pension Scheme :- As you must be aware that the earlier contribution of the Central Government in NPS was only 14% and now it has been increased to 18%. However, government employees will have the option of choosing NPS or UPS. But this option will be given only once. Therefore, you will have to choose pension wisely.
Gratuity and other benefits :- Under the UPS scheme, the central government will provide gratuity and other benefits to all employees after retirement. For information, let us tell you that in return for serving for every 6 months, 10th part of the salary received by the government employees every month will be added and given to them later during retirement.
