Govt. Announces Additional Pension Benefits for NPS Retirees
The government is giving extra money to some retired government employees who were part of the National Pension Scheme (NPS).
If you retired before March 31, 2025, and worked at least 10 years, you might get extra help.
You can choose to get a lump sum payment based on your last salary or more money each month.
To get the extra money, you need to apply by June 30, 2025, either online or by visiting an office.
The government is doing this to help retirees.
