The decision to change/amend the terms of the BSPS from RPI to CPI literally removed several billions pounds worth of Contingent Liabilities off the table for Tata: additionally Truss’ mini-Budget helped force up interest rates, which had the consequence of reducing the Liabilities of Pension Schemes.

This interest rate increase moved the BSPS into a large enough surplus to enable Tata to fully insure all its future liabilities. Therefore the Pensions’ Noose around India’s neck has gone forever.

This outcome - some 9 years earlier than originally expected - clearly vindicates the decision of the Trustees of the (original) BSPS to fight the Company and the PPF and create BSPS 2.
