It is applicable to Central Government employees who have joined the service on or before 31.12.2003 The National Pension System (NPS) is a defined contribution-based scheme with market linked returns for post-retirement benefits. It is applicable to Central Government employees, except armed forces, who have joined the service on or after 01.01.2004

(b) and (c) The regulation of service conditions of State Government employees falls under the administrative domain of respective State Governments.
