The Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, issued a memorandum extending the applicability of the Department of Financial Services Notification dated 13 November 2025 to CAB employees.
The government previously introduced the Aggressive Life Cycle Fund (LC-75) and the Balanced Life Cycle Fund (BLC) for Central Government employees, now available to CABs.
Eligible CAB employees can choose from the Aggressive Life Cycle Fund (LC-75-High), which allows up to 75% equity exposure for higher growth, and the Balanced Life Cycle Fund, which caps equity exposure at 50%.
