What steps are being taken by the Indian government to provide financial security to its employees
The Indian government is planning to provide which type of pensions to its employees?
- The government will introduce a new pension scheme that allows employees to contribute for their pension plans. This scheme will replace the current Defined Benefit Pension scheme.
- Under the new scheme, employees can choose their contribution amount, which will be matched by the government.
- The National Pension System (NPS) is another popular pension scheme in India, which is managed by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority.
- The NPS is a market-linked pension plan in which employees can choose their fund manager and invest in different asset classes such as equity, debt, and government securities.
- The government has also introduced a Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) bill to regulate the pension sector in India.
- The government is also offering a voluntary exit scheme, which allows employees to retire before their retirement age with a lump sum amount.
