Big Update on NPS! New Rules Implemented to Speed Up Pension Process

Anthony Lane

The National Pension System (NPS) has introduced new rules to speed up pension processing, aligning it with the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). Issued by the Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO) in March 2025, the guidelines simplify PPO documentation, integrate digital platforms, and ensure faster pension disbursal. This major update benefits government employees by reducing delays and ensuring timely retirement income, with clear procedures and official resources available for smooth implementation.
