Option to choose between OPS, NPS and UPS?
According to Live Mint reports, employee organizations have also raised the demand that employees should be given the freedom to choose the pension plan as per their needs. There are three options for this:
- OPS (Old Pension Scheme)
- NPS (National Pension Scheme)
- UNS (Unified Pension Scheme)
OPS (Old Pension Scheme)
This is an old pension scheme, in which pension is definitely given after retirement. In this, pension is decided on the basis of last salary and DA, the entire expense of which is borne by the government. For this the employee does not have to make any separate contribution.
NPS (National Pension System)
Both employees and government contribute in this scheme. The amount received after retirement depends on the accumulated funds and market performance. There is no guarantee of fixed pension in this pension scheme.
UPS (Unified Pension Scheme)
This pension scheme is a mixed model of OPS and NPS. There is contribution in this and provision for fixed pension has also been made. Many employee organizations believe that the pension received after retirement should not depend on the ups and downs of the stock market.
