NPS COMMITTEE -
HOPES OF YOUNGER GENERATION SHATTERED

NPS committee constituted by the
Government to streamline the National Pension System has called the JCM
Staff Side for second round of discussion on 10.02.2017. As per the
notified agenda, the committee is proposing discussion on only cosmetic
changes in NPS. Basic issues such as (1) scrapping of NPS (2) Guaranteed
Minimum pension to NPS Pensioners ie; 50% of the last pay drawn should
be guaranteed by Government as minimum pension even if the returns from
annuity insurance scheme amount is less than the 50%. and (3) Exemption
of Central Govt. Employees from the purview of NPS, are not included in
the agenda of the meeting even though the Cabinet Secretary has assured
JCM Staff Side Chairman and Secretary Shri. Raghavayya and Shri Shiv
Gopal Misra on 19th January 2017 that -- "so far as issue of
NPS is concerned he has already directed the Committee to hold meeting
with Staff Side". From reading the agenda it can be seen that main
demands of the Staff Side are avoided, thus betraying the cause of
thousands of younger generation Central Government Employees who joined
service after 01.01.2004. Their hopes are shattered and belied. NJCA
should revive the deferred strike to protect the interest of younger
generations. Let us make the 16th March 2017 Confederation Strike a
grand success.
