National Council-JCM secretary Shiv Gopal Mishra and member C. Sreekumar have demanded the re-implementation of the old pension system before the Finance Ministry and DoPT officials. From January 1, 2004, NPS was implemented in all central departments except the army. Even the central paramilitary forces were taken out of the ‘old pension system’.
Ranbir Singh, general secretary of the Confederation of Ex Paramilitary Forces Welfare Association, has given a memorandum to several ministers in the central government in this regard. He says that the jawans are not happy about the salary allowances in central security forces like BSF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB and CISF. The soldiers of these forces have been denied many facilities as compared to the army. The Indian Army was also given ‘One Rank One Pension’, but the old pension is also not being given to the paramilitary forces.
