Tata Motors has launched a voluntary retirement scheme after union demands, allowing eligible permanent employees aged 40 to 55 to opt out. Around 300 staff have reportedly enrolled so far.

Newly notified central government rules allow employees with at least 20 years of service to opt for voluntary retirement under the Unified Pension Scheme and receive an assured pro rata payout. The package also ties in retirement benefits including gratuity, leave encashment, and insurance-related schemes, aiming to make VRS decisions more predictable.
