Old Pension Scheme Re-Implemented in Five Indian States

February 6, 2023 Eliza

The Old Pension Scheme (OPS) has been restarted in five states – Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh – for state government employees. The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has no provision under its regulations to refund the accumulated corpus to the state government. According to the Reserve Bank of India, the annual savings from reversion to the old pension scheme is short-lived and could lead to the accumulation of unfunded pension liabilities in the future.

ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE
(DR. BHAGWAT KARAD)

(a) to (e) The State Governments of Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh have informed the Central Government/Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) about their decision to restart Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for their State Government employees.

There is no provision under Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 2013 read along with PFRDA (Exits and Withdrawals under the National Pension System) Regulations, 2015, and other relevant Regulations, vide which the accumulated corpus of the subscribers viz Government contribution, Employees’ contribution towards NPS along with accruals, can be refunded and deposited back to the State Government.

As per Reserve Bank of India’s report titled ‘State Finances: A Study of Budget of 2022-23’, the annual saving in fiscal resources that reversion to the old pension scheme entails, is short-lived. By postponing the current expenses to the future, States risk the accumulation of unfunded pension liabilities in the coming years.
