With the upcoming Budget 2024 just weeks away, the government is considering a proposal to provide central govt employees enrolled with National Pension System or NPS with 50% of their final pay drawn as a pension.

This initiative aims to address concerns regarding pension payouts as per Times of India report.

The report further adds that despite this potential change, the government assures that the NPS will continue to offer attractive returns for long-term investors, particularly those who remain invested for 25-30 years and were recruited after 2004.
