Old Pension News: Debate is still going on in many states across the country regarding the old pension scheme. Now a big update regarding the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) has come to the fore. The old pension scheme has been implemented in many states of the country at this time. Meanwhile, a joint forum of engineers and employees of the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board (HPSEB) has demanded implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) with immediate effect.
Along with this, the forum has also opposed the proposal to transfer generation and transmission assets of HPSEB to HPPCL (Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation) and HPPTCL (Himachal Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation) respectively.
1.18 lakh people opted for old pension
Let us tell you that only 346 employees in Himachal Pradesh want to live in the National Pension System ie NPS. About 1.18 lakh employees have opted for the Old Pension Scheme ie OPS. Here on Monday was the last chance to choose Old Pension Scheme and New Pension Scheme. On May 4, the government had given two months time to the employees of Himachal Pradesh.
Released statement
According to the statement issued here, in the meeting of the United Front held on Monday, a resolution regarding the major demands was passed. In this, it was emphasized that the separation of assets of HPSEB is neither in the interest of the employees nor in the interest of electricity consumers.
This proposal came in the meeting
Expressing serious concern over the transfer of four small hydro projects from HPSEB to HPPCL, the United Front said that these projects are at an advanced stage and the transfer of the projects at this stage would delay the execution by about two years.
Opposition to smart metering project
In another resolution, the Morcha strongly opposed the smart metering project to be done in HPSEB under RDSS (Reconstructed Distribution Sector Scheme) and said that it would further worsen the financial health of HPSEB.
