Unified Pension Scheme (U.P.S.) की जानकारी-

केन्द्र सरकार द्वारा जारी UPS( एकीकृत पेंशन योजना) की श्रोतों द्वारा अर्जित की गई जानकारी निम्नलिखित है-

कैबिनेट ने केंद्र सरकार के कर्मचारियों के लिए राष्ट्रीय पेंशन प्रणाली (एनपीएस) में सुधार के लिए एकीकृत पेंशन योजना (UPS) की शुरुआत को मंजूरी दे दी है। सरकारी कर्मचारी मांग करते रहे हैं कि उन्हें अपनी पेंशन में निश्चितता की आवश्यकता है, विशेष रूप से पेंशन, पारिवारिक पेंशन और न्यूनतम पेंशन । जबकि सरकार इन चिंताओं को पूरी तरह समझती है, सरकार की आम नागरिक के हितों की रक्षा करने की भी जिम्मेदारी है ताकि भविष्य में पेंशन के कारण उन पर उच्च करों का भारी बोझ न पड़े। इसे ध्यान में रखते हुए, सरकार ने मौजूदा एनपीएस की समीक्षा करने और मामले में सिफारिशें करने के लिए वित्त सचिव की अध्यक्षता में एक समिति नियुक्त की थी। समिति ने राज्य सरकारों के साथ-साथ कर्मचारियों के प्रतिनिधियों से परामर्श किया और संघों, विशेषज्ञों आदि के सुझावों पर विचार किया। समिति ने अंतरराष्ट्रीय अनुभव को भी देखा और भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक से परामर्श किया। कमेटी ने अब अपनी रिपोर्ट सौंप दी है। यूपीएस समिति की सिफारिशों पर आधारित है और समिति की सिफारिशों पर राष्ट्रीय संयुक्त सलाहकार मशीनरी परिषद (जेसीएम) के कर्मचारी पक्ष के माध्यम से कर्मचारियों के प्रतिनिधियों के साथ चर्चा की गई। कर्मचारी प्रतिनिधियों ने व्यापक सहमति बनाने के लिए समिति को बहुमूल्य सुझाव दिये। यूपीएस की व्यापक रूपरेखा में निम्नलिखित शामिल हैं:-

1-जिन कर्मचारियों के पास पर्याप्त सेवा है, उन्हें पेंशन के रूप में उनके पिछले 12 महीनों के मूल वेतन का औसत वेतन कम से कम 50% सुनिश्चित पेंशन मिलेगी।2-कम से कम 10 साल की सेवा वाले कार्मिकों को न्यूनतम 10,000 रुपये प्रति माह पेंशन दी जाएगी।

3- जीवनसाथी को पारिवारिक पेंशन पेंशन का 60% धनराशि के रूप में दिया जाएगा।

4-सुनिश्चित पेंशन, न्यूनतम पेंशन और पारिवारिक पेंशन पर महंगाई राहत दी जाएगी न कि मंहगाई भत्ता।

5-इसके अतिरिक्त, सेवानिवृत्ति के समय एकमुश्त धनराशि प्रदान की जाएगी।

6. स्वैच्छिक सेवानिवृत्ति (वीआरएस) के मामले में अभी नियम और इसका मूल ढांचा तैयार न होने तक स्थिति पूर्ण रूप से स्पष्ट नहीं हो पा रही है कि किसी कर्मचारी द्वारा VRS लेने के उपरांत उसे पेंशन तत्काल मिलना प्रारंभ होगा अथवा उसके वास्तविक सेवानिवृत की दिनांक के पश्चात अर्थात कितने वर्ष पश्चात उसे पेंशन देना प्रारंभ किया जाएगा।

7. कर्मचारियों के वेतन से दिया जा रहे अंशदान में कोई बढ़ोतरी नहीं होगी बल्कि केंद्र सरकार अपना अंशदान 18.5 % कर देगी, जो लोग एनपीएस के तहत पहले ही सेवानिवृत्त हो चुके हैं वे भी इस लाभ के पात्र होंगे। ऐसे पूर्व सेवानिवृत्त लोगों को उनके द्वारा पहले ही की गई निकासी को समायोजित करने के बाद बकाया का भुगतान किया जाएगा।

योजना का विवरण और पात्रताएं नीचे दी गई हैं-

1- कर्मचारी के योगदान (मूल वेतन + डीए) के 10% पर कटौती जारी रहेगी।

2- सरकारी योगदान वर्तमान 14% से बढ़कर 18.5% हो जाएगा।

पेंशन कोष दो फंडों में बांटा जाएगा-

2 (A) - एक व्यक्तिगत पेंशन निधि जिसमें कर्मचारी का योगदान (मूल वेतन और डीए का 10%) और समान सरकारी योगदान जमा किया जाएगा।

2(B) - अकेले अतिरिक्त सरकारी योगदान के साथ एक अलग पूल कॉर्पस (सभी कर्मचारियों के मूल और डीए का 8.5%)

2(C) -कर्मचारी अकेले व्यक्तिगत पेंशन कोष के लिए निवेश का विकल्प चुन सकता है। कर्मचारी सुनिश्चित पेंशन में आनुपातिक कटौती के साथ व्यक्तिगत पेंशन कोष का 60% तक निकाल सकता है।

2(D) -सुनिश्चित पेंशन पीएफआरडीए द्वारा अधिसूचित निवेश पैटर्न के 'डिफ़ॉल्ट मोड' पर आधारित होगी और व्यक्तिगत पेंशन कॉर्पस के पूर्ण वार्षिकीकरण पर विचार किया जाएगा। यदि बेंचमार्क वार्षिकी सुनिश्चित वार्षिकी से कम है, तो कमी को पूरा किया जाएगा। यदि व्यक्तिगत कर्मचारी कोष सुनिश्चित वार्षिकी (कर्मचारी द्वारा चुने गए निवेश विकल्प के आधार पर) से अधिक उत्पन्न करता है, तो कर्मचारी ऐसी उच्च वार्षिकी का हकदार होगा। हालाँकि, यदि उत्पन्न वार्षिकी डिफ़ॉल्ट मोड से कम है, तो यूपीएस के माध्यम से सरकार द्वारा प्रदान किया गया टॉप अप बेंचमार्क वार्षिकी तक सीमित होगा।

2(E) - न्यूनतम 25 वर्ष की अर्हक सेवा के लिए पूर्ण सुनिश्चित पेंशन उपलब्ध होगी। कम सेवा के लिए, कम से कम 10 वर्षों से शुरू करके, आनुपातिक सुनिश्चित पेंशन दी जाएगी।

2(F) -कर्मचारियों के पास यूपीएस चुनने का विकल्प होगा। यदि कोई कर्मचारी चाहे तो एनपीएस को जारी रखना चुन सकता है।

यूपीएस 01.04.2025 से प्रभावी होगा। आवश्यक प्रशासनिक/कानूनी सहायता ढांचा स्थापित किया जाएगा, इस योजना को राज्य सरकारें भी अपना सकती हैं। इससे 90 लाख से अधिक कर्मचारियों (23 लाख केंद्र सरकार के कर्मचारी, केंद्रीय स्वायत्त निकायों के 3 लाख कर्मचारी और राज्य सरकारों के 56 लाख कर्मचारी और राज्य सरकारों द्वारा अपनाए जाने पर राज्य स्वायत्त निकायों के 10 लाख कर्मचारी) को लाभ होने की उम्मीद है कर्मचारियों को ला�� पहुंचाने के साथ-साथ यह आम नागरिकों के कल्याण की भी रक्षा करेगा क्योंकि यह योजना पूरी तरह से वित्त पोषित होगी, यानी सरकार हर साल अपना योगदान पूरी तरह से भुगतान करेगी और पेंशन व्यय को स्थगित नहीं करेगी, इस प्रकार नागरिकों की भावी पीढ़ियों के लिए वित्तीय कठिनाई को रोका जा सकेगा।

All You Need to Know About the National Pension System (NPS)

The National Pension System (NPS) is a government-sponsored pension program in India designed to provide retirement income to Indian citizens. It is a voluntary, long-term investment plan that helps individuals build a substantial corpus for their post-retirement years. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the key aspects of NPS, including its features, benefits, and how you can get started with it.

Features and Benefits of NPS

Voluntary and Flexible

NPS is a voluntary savings scheme, which means individuals can choose to participate. It offers flexibility in terms of contributions, allowing you to contribute as per your financial capacity.

Two Tiers of NPS

NPS consists of two tiers: Tier I and Tier II. Tier I is a mandatory, long-term retirement account with restrictions on withdrawals, designed to ensure savings for retirement. Tier II, on the other hand, is a voluntary account that offers greater liquidity.

Regular Contributions

Under Tier I, regular contributions are made by the subscriber throughout their working years. These contributions are invested in a mix of equity, corporate bonds, and government securities, depending on the choice of the subscriber.

Tax Benefits

NPS offers attractive tax benefits. Contributions to Tier I accounts are eligible for a deduction under Section 80CCD (1) of the Income Tax Act, up to a maximum limit of 10% of your gross income (in addition to the Section 80C limit). Additionally, there's an extra deduction of up to Rs. 50,000 under Section 80CCD (1B).

Auto Choice Option

NPS allows subscribers to choose their asset allocation or opt for the "Auto Choice" option, which automatically adjusts the asset mix based on the subscriber's age. It starts with a higher equity allocation and gradually shifts to a more conservative portfolio as the subscriber approaches retirement.

Lump Sum and Annuity Options

On reaching the retirement age of 60, you can withdraw a portion of the accumulated corpus as a lump sum (up to 60%) while the remaining must be used to purchase an annuity plan that provides a regular pension income.

Portability

NPS is a portable scheme, meaning you can continue your account even if you change your job or location. This feature ensures that your retirement savings remain unaffected by career moves.

How to Open an NPS Account

Eligibility

NPS is open to all Indian citizens, including resident and non-resident Indians. Even NRIs can avail of the benefits of NPS.

Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN)

To open NPS account online, you need to apply through a Point of Presence (POP). You'll receive a PRAN card, which is your unique NPS account number. This PRAN remains the same throughout your life, even if you switch jobs or locations.

Choose the Right Fund Manager

NPS allows you to select a fund manager from a list of pension fund managers authorized by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).

Submit KYC Document

Like any financial account, you'll need to submit Know Your Customer (KYC) documents for identity and address verification. This typically includes Aadhar Card, PAN card, and a passport-sized photograph.

Initial Contribution

You'll have to make an initial contribution, which varies depending on the fund manager you choose. This amount can range from as low as Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,000.

Regular Contributions

After opening your NPS account, you need to contribute regularly. You can choose the frequency and amount of your contributions.

Monitor Your NPS Account

It's important to keep an eye on your NPS account, track your contributions, and review your fund's performance to ensure your retirement corpus is growing as per your goals.

NPS Tax Benefits

NPS offers attractive tax benefits, making it a popular choice for long-term savings:

Section 80CCD(1): Contributions to NPS up to 10% of your salary (for salaried individuals) or 10% of gross income (for self-employed individuals) are eligible for a deduction under Section 80CCD(1) of the Income Tax Act. This deduction is within the overall limit of Section 80C.

Section 80CCD(1B): An additional deduction of up to Rs. 50,000 is available under Section 80CCD(1B) for contributions made to NPS.

Section 80CCD(2): Employer contributions to NPS, up to 10% of salary, can be claimed as a deduction under Section 80CCD(2).

Tax on Withdrawal: While the lump sum withdrawal is tax-free up to 60%, the annuity income is taxable as per your applicable tax slab.

Conclusion

The National Pension System (NPS) is a versatile and tax-efficient investment option designed to secure your financial future during retirement. With its flexible contributions, tax benefits, and a choice of fund managers, NPS caters to a wide range of investors. By starting early and staying committed to your contributions, you can build a substantial corpus that will provide you with financial security during your retirement years.

Fun Fact about Samsung:

The arrest of Samsung executives, including Lee Jae-yong (commonly known as Jay Y. Lee), the de facto leader of Samsung Group, stemmed from a large-scale corruption and bribery scandal in South Korea. This case, which unfolded in 2016-2017, implicated powerful figures in politics and business. Here's an overview of the events leading to the arrests:

The Scandal Involving South Korea’s President: The scandal was centered around then-President Park Geun-hye and her close confidante Choi Soon-sil. Choi, who had no official government position, was found to have used her influence over President Park to solicit massive donations from major corporations, including Samsung, to non-profit foundations she controlled.

Bribery Allegations Against Samsung: Prosecutors alleged that Samsung made payments totaling nearly $37 million to entities linked to Choi Soon-sil. In return, it was suggested that Samsung sought favorable treatment from the government, particularly regarding a controversial merger between two Samsung affiliates, Samsung C&T and Cheil Industries, in 2015. This merger was crucial for consolidating Lee Jae-yong’s control over the conglomerate.

Role of the National Pension Service (NPS): The NPS, a major shareholder in both companies, supported the merger despite opposition from other investors who believed it undervalued Samsung C&T. It was alleged that this support came under pressure from the government, influenced by the bribes.

Arrest and Trial of Lee Jae-yong: Lee Jae-yong was arrested in February 2017 and charged with bribery, embezzlement, perjury, and other offenses. His trial revealed extensive details about the connections between Samsung, Choi Soon-sil, and the government. In 2017, he was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison, although his sentence was later reduced on appeal, and he was released in 2018.

Political Fallout and Reform Efforts: The scandal had widespread repercussions, leading to the impeachment and removal of President Park Geun-hye from office. She was later convicted on charges of abuse of power, bribery, and coercion. The case highlighted the deep ties between South Korea's chaebols (family-owned conglomerates) and the political elite, sparking public outcry and calls for reform.

Rehabilitation and Pardons: Despite his legal troubles, Lee Jae-yong was granted a presidential pardon in August 2022, a common practice in South Korea for business leaders deemed critical to the economy. The move was controversial, as it reignited debates over corporate accountability and the fairness of the justice system.

The case became a symbol of the corruption challenges within South Korea’s political and corporate spheres and underscored the influence of powerful chaebols in the country.

Understanding the Importance of Retirement Planning in India

Retirement planning in India is more than just saving money; it’s about ensuring that your post-retirement life is free from financial stress. With inflation steadily eroding purchasing power, creating a robust retirement corpus is essential. Proper planning enables individuals to maintain their lifestyle, meet medical expenses, and support their aspirations without financial dependency on others.

Key Factors to Consider in Retirement Planning in India

Retirement planning in India involves multiple factors to ensure that your financial goals align with your lifestyle and needs:

1. Estimating Post-Retirement Expenses

Understanding your potential expenses is the first step:

Daily Living Costs: Food, clothing, transportation, and utilities.

Healthcare Costs: Medical treatments and insurance premiums.

Lifestyle Goals: Hobbies, travel, and other personal aspirations.

Inflation: Adjusting for inflation helps provide a realistic estimate.

2. Determining Your Retirement Corpus

Calculating your required retirement corpus ensures financial security throughout your life. Use tools like retirement calculators to factor in inflation, expected returns, and the duration of your retirement.

3. Assessing Current Savings and Investments

Evaluate your existing savings and investments to identify gaps. This analysis will guide your future contributions and investment strategies.

Best Investment Options for Retirement Planning in India

Starting early gives you the advantage of compounding, where your investments grow exponentially over time. Even small contributions made consistently can create a significant corpus.

3. Diversify Investments

A well-diversified portfolio of equity, debt, and real estate helps balance risk and maximize returns.

4. Monitor and Adjust Your Plan

Regularly review your plan to accommodate changes in market conditions and personal circumstances. Adjusting your strategy ensures that you stay on track.

5. Seek Professional Advice

Engaging with a financial advisor can help you navigate complex investment choices and optimize your portfolio.

Tax Implications of Retirement Planning in India

Retirement planning in India should be tax-efficient to maximize returns. Consider instruments that offer tax benefits, such as:

Section 80C: Covers PPF, EPF, and NPS investments.

Strategic tax planning ensures that more of your earnings contribute to your retirement goals.

Conclusion
