Ministry of Finance Revises NPS to OPS Migration Process for Death and Disability Cases
The Ministry of Finance revised the Standard Operating Procedure on October 19, 2026, to simplify the migration of eligible death and disability cases from the National Pension System (NPS) to the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). The updated process addresses earlier challenges and involves government offices issuing new Pension Payment Orders (PPOs) to pensioners or their families. Pensioners are not required to prepare the new PPO themselves; banks will collect old orders once the new PPO is received, facilitating smoother migration.
