The Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, will release the ₹100 commemorative coin and postage stamp to mark the Centenary of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on October 1, 2026, at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.

The programme will mark the culmination of the year-long centenary celebrations that commenced on October 1, 2025, commemorating 100 years since the establishment of the Public Service Commission in 1926. On the occasion, the Prime Minister will also release a book titled ‘100 Landmark Judgements – Shaping the Policies of UPSC and Public Service Commissions in India’.

The two-day centenary programme is being held on September 30 and October 1, 2026, at Bharat Mandapam. The first day features ‘Shatabdi Samaroh – Manthan’, comprising addresses by eminent speakers and panel discussions on various themes relating to public service and the future of the Commission. The concluding day will bring together Chairmen and Members of State Public Service Commissions, senior officers of the Government of India, academicians, UPSC officials and other stakeholders from across the country.

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is India’s premier constitutional body responsible for conducting examinations and selecting candidates for recruitment to various higher civil services of the Union Government. It was established on October 1, 1926, as the Public Service Commission and later became the Union Public Service Commission under the Constitution of India on January 26, 1950. Over the past century, the UPSC has played an important role in maintaining standards of merit-based recruitment to India’s public services.

This release should mark the 13th commemorative coin of 2026, with the Ministry of Finance confirming its issuance through a gazette notification dated September 8, 2026. The ₹100 coin is reportedly being minted by the India Government Mint, Mumbai. Additionally, several more commemorative coin releases are expected this year, as outlined in the upcoming and possibility section.
