New pension rules from 2025: Now collect EPS anywhere in India
India TodayStarting January 1, 2025, pensioners under the Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995, will experience a major shift in how they receive their monthly pension. Thanks to the introduction of the Centralized Pension Payment System, pensioners will now be able to collect their pension from any bank branch across India, even if they move to a different city or town. It represents a national-level solution that leverages advanced IT and financial technology to make pension payments faster and more accessible to pensioners across India. This is a significant step forward in modernising the pension disbursement process and will benefit over 78 lakh EPS pensioners. As the CPPS rolls out, EPS pensioners can look forward to a more seamless and hassle-free experience, marking the beginning of a new chapter in pension disbursement across India.
