Many State Governments have adopted NPS architecture and implemented NPS mandatorily through Gazette Notifications for their employees joining on or after a cut-off date.

In line with the decision of GOI to introduce NPS for new entrants joining central government services on or after 1/1/2004, it has been decided vide OM 1(13)/EV/2001 Dt 13/11/2003 Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance that all new entrants in all Autonomous Bodies under various Central Ministries/Departments recruited on or after 1/1/2004 will also be governed by the NPS.

The existing corpus of CPF (both employees’ and employers’) would be moved over to the trust fund accounts under NPS.

In order to facilitate the transition from CPF to NPS, the autonomous body would make in addition one time ex-gratia payment of 10% of the employer’s contribution for each of the employees opting to switch over to NPS.

Recurring monthly contribution by employee @ 10% of Basic Pay + DA and a matching contribution by the autonomous body would be payable.

The employer’s contribution would be payable from the month the organization/employee shifts over to NPS and would be limited to 10% of Basic Pay + DA.
