Himachal to implement OPS from April 1

SHIMLA: Ending suspense over the cut-off date for implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS), the Himachal Pradesh Cabinet decided to bring 1.36 lakh employees, and also those who will be appointed to government jobs in future, under the ambit of OPS.

The scheme will become applicable from April 1.2023.

The Cabinet which met here under Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu cleared the ducks for the implementation of key election promises of the congress in the state.

The Cabinet has decided that from April 2023, the old pension will be fully implemented and the contribution of NPS will stop being deducted.

The new thing is that Himachal has made its own model to restore the old pension.

According to this, all NPS employees appointed after 2003 will be brought under the ambit of old pension, but for this, they will have to give an option.
