No concrete reply from the ministry
On the demand of the employees, the government had sought the opinion of the Law Ministry regarding the old pension scheme. It was asked from which department the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) can be implemented? However, no concrete answer has been given by the ministry on this. Earlier in the last session of Parliament, Minister of State for Finance Bhagwat Karad had denied that the government was considering implementing the Old Pension Scheme.
Opposition party making issue
Sources say that even though the government is refusing it, but the way the opposition party is focusing on this issue in the elections, a decision on old pension can be taken in the coming days. For those whose recruitment advertisements were issued on or before December 31, 2003 by the government, old pension can be considered for them.
3 big benefits of old pension scheme
1- In OPS, the pension was made on the basis of the last drawn salary.
2- With the increase in inflation rate in OPS, DA (Dearness Allowance) also increased.
3- When the government implements the new Pay Commission, it also increases the pension.
The Center had implemented the New Pension Scheme in the year 2004. Separate accounts were opened for the New Pension Scheme funds and a fund manager was also appointed to invest in the fund. The new employees can get a good amount at the time of retirement as compared to the old scheme if the pension fund investment returns are good. On this, the question of the employees is that the return of investment of pension fund will be better, how is it possible.
