The Manipur cabinet has approved the United Pension Scheme (UPS) and introduced statutory gratuity for employees under the National Pension System (NPS).
In a recent cabinet meeting, the Government of Manipur approved the United Pension Scheme (UPS), a unified pension framework aimed at simplifying retirement benefits for government employees. The decision also includes the introduction of statutory gratuity for staff enrolled in the National Pension System (NPS).
Under the UPS, employees will receive a consolidated pension irrespective of the service branch, enhancing transparency and reducing administrative overhead. The statutory gratuity provision ensures that NPS beneficiaries receive a fixed gratuity payment upon retirement or termination of service, aligning with national pension policies.
The cabinet emphasized that these measures will strengthen the state's pension infrastructure, providing greater financial security to public servants. The move is expected to streamline pension disbursements and improve employee morale across state departments.
