Our Assessment
highhigh
The Congress government restored the Old Pension Scheme in its first cabinet meeting on 13 January 2023, with implementation from 1 April 2023, ending NPS deductions for about 1.36 lakh employees and covering serving and retired staff. The government has repeatedly reaffirmed through 2025-26 and into 2026 that OPS will continue despite fiscal stress following the Centre withdrawing Revenue Deficit Grant support. This is a clear, fully delivered commitment.
