Karnataka Government Plans to Replace NPS with Old Pension Scheme Soon
The Karnataka government, led by Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara, announced plans to scrap the New Pension Scheme (NPS) and reintroduce the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) soon. This move fulfills a long-standing demand of government employees and a Congress election promise. Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has actively supported this decision, which was discussed at a state-level Teachers' Day event. The OPS had not been reinstated earlier due to unspecified reasons.
