Currently, all government employees are covered under the  National Pension Scheme (NPS) , which provides a pension based on market-linked investments. Before 2004, all government employees received pensions under the  Old Pension Scheme (OPS) . In 2004, the government introduced the NPS and discontinued the OPS. The government received a backlash from employees for discontinuing OPS. Thus, the government announced the UPS to provide assured pension amounts.
