Benefits of Old Pension Scheme (OPS):
The Old Pension Scheme (OPS) is a major means of financial security for employees. Under this scheme, employees are given 50% of their last salary as pension. This scheme is not market-based but is given by the government, which gives stability and security to its benefits. In contrast, in the new pension scheme, the pension fund is based on the stock market, in which there is no guarantee of returns.
Under the old pension scheme, after retirement, government employees get half of their last salary as a pension. For example, if the basic salary of an employee is ₹ 50,000, then after retirement he will get ₹ 25,000 per month as pension. This pension is fully guaranteed and is given by the government, which provides financial security to the employees.
The demand of employees:
Government employees were demanding the restoration of the old pension scheme, and the government has shown some leniency on this. Now employees can be given benefits under the Unified Pension Scheme, which gives a benefit of ₹ 10,000 per month after 10 years of service, and 50% of the last salary as a pension after serving 25 years.
The employee organizations will now demand full restoration of the old pension scheme from the government in the coming months, and meetings are planned to be held in this direction.
After the restoration of the pension scheme, employees hope that they will have financial security in the future and their lives will be happy.
Government orders and amendments:
The Gujarat government has issued an order to restore the old pension scheme through the Finance Department. Under this order, government employees appointed before April 2005 will get the benefit of the old pension scheme. However, the new pension scheme will remain applicable for employees appointed after 2005.
- With this change, more than 60,000 government employees of Gujarat will get the benefit of the pension scheme, which they are happy about and consider an important step.
- This decision of the Gujarat government has brought relief news for those employees who have been demanding the restoration of the old pension scheme for a long time. After this decision, the employees have got a new hope regarding their future financial security.
