About NPS
The National Pension System (NPS) has been implemented for all Government Employees (except armed forces) joining Central Govt. on or after 1st January 2004. Most of the State/UT Governments have also notified the National Pension System (NPS) for their new employees. NPS has been made available to every Indian Citizen from 1st May 2009 on a voluntary basis. Further, from 1st June 2015, the Atal Pension Yojana, has been launched which has given the much-required impetus to the social security schemes.
