The Centre NPS subscribers who retired on or before March 31 with a minimum of 10 years of qualifying service or their spouse can claim the additional benefits under the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS).

As per the scheme, the retired employee who opted for UPS would get a lump sum payment (one time) of one-tenth of the last drawn basic pay and dearness allowance thereon, for each completed six months of qualifying service.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
