Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday that the government would deliberate on restoring the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) once the committee constituted for the purpose submitted its report.
In 2022, the Congress-ruled States of Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan announced restoration of the Defined Pension Benefit Scheme or the OPS (DPBS/OPS). Trade unions and several employee organisations have been protesting in large numbers for restoration of the OPS.
Mr. Shah, while replying to a question on restoration of the OPS at a press conference in Jaipur, said, “We have constituted a committee to study the OPS. As soon as the committee submits its report, we will deliberate on it.”
