ONE MORE CLARIFICATION REGARDING NJCA’s STAND ON NEW PENSION SCHEME (NPS)
QUERY —
Just like the issues of Salary
hike, Fitment formula or parity of Pension, the issue of NPS is common
to all Central Govt. Departments. In spite of that, this issue appears
to be less highlighted. I represent a unit where 80% of the employees
belong to NPS and all of us are aware of the pros & cons of the
scheme and we are really concerned about our future

REPLY —–
Thanks for your concern. The
problem of NPS employees are well taken care of by the NJCA. Please see
the Press Statement issued by NJCA on 6th July 2016 after taking the
decision to defer the strike which is published in confederation
website. The last paragraph reads as follows——- “The NJCA particularly
notes that the Govt. has set up a separate committee for reviewing the
New Pension Scheme, which has been a matter of concern to all employees
and workers who are recruited to Govt. services after 01.01.2004.”
Please also see the para -12 of the Press Communique issued by the Govt.
through Press Information Bureau immediately after the Cabinet decision
on 29th June 2016 which reads as ——— “Para-12— The Cabinet also decided
to constitute a separate committee to suggest measures for streamlining
the implementation of New Pension System (NPS)”. Cabinet decision is
taken as it is one of the important demand of the Charter of demands of
NJCA submitted to Govt. NJCA shall take follow up action on this
particular demand as all of us are very much concerned about this
important demand. This demand is directly linked to the policy of the
NDA Govt. as all of you are aware that it is the previous NDA Govt.
which took a Cabinet decision in 2003 to implement New Contributory
Pension Scheme to Central Govt. Employees from 01.01.2004.
