New Delhi: Chhattisgarh government has announced to give all government employees an option to choose between the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) and the New Pension Scheme (NPS). The state government has also stated that all government employees who are appointed after April 2022 will fall under the old pension scheme.
Several states are forewarning to get back to the old pension scheme due to the demand by their employees. Earlier, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said last month that the older pension scheme for government employees will be revived after seeing backlash for New National Pension scheme by employees.
