Raipur (State Bureau). Old Pension Scheme: The old pension scheme of government employees can also be implemented in Chhattisgarh. After brainstorming on this in the cabinet meeting held this month, the Finance Department has been asked to submit the study report. Due to this, the expectations of the employees have increased. With the implementation of the old pension scheme, more than two lakh 95 thousand employees who came in service after 2004 will benefit. Apart from this, there may be some problem in the case of employees who have died after 10 years of service. The government will have to decide in this.
According to the officials of the Finance Department, the financial burden on the state to implement the old pension scheme is being studied. However, due to this, there will be no immediate load. The logic behind this is that those in service after 2004 will retire in 2030-35. At the same time, the state government will not have to pay any contribution in the old scheme. This will save the amount which is being contributed now. During this, there may be some problem in the case of employees who have died after 10 years of service. The government will have to decide in this.
Here, after Rajasthan, the government has also announced to implement the old pension scheme in the non-BJP ruled neighboring state of Jharkhand. This has increased the expectations of the state employees. State convener of Chhattisgarh Employees-Officers Federation Kamal Verma, State President of Third Class Employees Union, Viyaj Jha and Mantralaya Quick Writers Association President Devlal Bharti and other employees’ organizations have intensified the demand for this. At the same time, in this matter, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel says that the financial situation will be studied for this. Whatever is possible will be done. The Atal government of the Center had closed it, if this topic has come up in the discussion, then we will consider it.
