About a month ago, in the cabinet meeting, the Punjab government had made up its mind to restore the old pension scheme for the employees. There was a demand of the employees for a long time that the old pension scheme should be implemented for them. State Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema had also said that the employees should get the option to opt for the old pension scheme.
OPS advantage over NPS
At the state level, continuous agitations were going on regarding the Old Pension Scheme. After the government of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, the old pension scheme has been implemented in Punjab. After 2010, the government has appointed employees under the New Pension Scheme (NPS). In this scheme, the employees get very few benefits as compared to the old scheme. Their future is not secure because of this. The government will have to pay tax on the money received after retirement.
