Gurkha Pension Scheme Award 2025

Existing rates of Gurkha Retirement Pension, Gurkha Service Pension, Gurkha Disability Pension and Gurkha Family Pension have been revised with effect from 1 April 2025.

The current rates, which are based on Indian Army pensions and issued in accordance with the Gurkha Pension Manual, but incorporate a welfare related cash uplift to take account of the benefits in kind provided to Indian Army ex-servicemen, have received a 2025 pension increment of 6.05% to take account of cost of living increases in Nepal. In line with existing policy the increase is based on the Nepal Rastra Bank consumer price index for inflation in Nepal. All revised rates supersede those from 1 April 2024.
