*Unified Pension Scheme Update: Over 1.18 Lakh Central Govt Employees Opt In, No Changes Planned*

Description

More than *1.18 lakh Central Government employees, retirees and eligible family members* have opted for the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS), according to the latest update presented in Parliament.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated that *1,18,195 subscribers* had enrolled under UPS as of July 19, 2026. The scheme, which became operational from April 1, 2025, provides an assured pension option to eligible Central Government employees covered under the National Pension System (NPS).

The government has also made it clear that **there is currently no proposal to review, modify or replace the Unified Pension Scheme**. The Centre said that the implementation and performance of UPS have not yet been formally reviewed, as the scheme has been in force for a relatively short period.

The latest development is important for Central Government employees and pensioners who are closely following updates on **UPS, NPS, retirement benefits, assured pension, gratuity and pension security**.
