It is disappointing that key facts regarding the new pension have yet to be published even though the scheme has gone live. The details on extra contributions should have been made available well ahead of the schemes launch so that members could have made an informed choice ahead of implementation.
As it is I guess there are precisely zero members making extra contributions due to the lack of information or a published method to make payments. I find it hard to believe that any other pension scheme would be able to behave in this way.
One hopes that they will make a special provision to allow for additional contributions from the beginning of this tax year, even though the start has been missed. The recent release of information on actuarially reduced pensions taken ahead of state pension age is welcome though.
