HC cited Constitution’s Article 246 to conclude that CAPF personnel fall under the definition of armed forces and, thereby, are eligible for guaranteed pensions. The background to the judgment is that central government personnel who joined in January 2004 onwards are not eligible for OPS. Instead, they are grouped under the national pension scheme (NPS), which functions on the lines of EPF. There are no guaranteed payouts in NPS and the benefits that accrue to pensioners depend on the r...

NEW DELHI: Benefits of the old pension scheme (OPS) in accordance with the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972, shall be applicable to all personnel of central armed police forces (CAPF), the Delhi high court has ruled and directed the Union government to issue necessary orders within eight weeks. The order came on a batch of 82 petitions seeking quashing of government orders denying OPS benefits to CRPF, BSF, CISF and ITBP personnel. A bench of Justices Neena Bansal Krishna and Suresh Kumar Kait noted that a notification of December 22, 2003 on the new pension scheme stated the system would be mandatory for all new central recruits from January 1, 2004 — “except the armed forces in the first stage”. A related office memorandum of February 17, 2020 was also scrutinised. The HC said the contents of both notifications “clearly demonstrate that when the policy decision to implement NPS was taken, the armed forces were kept out of its domain”. The bench added that there is “no dispute” that at the time of publication of ads through which the petitioners were recruited, OPS was in force. Despite the fact that the “armed forces” were marked as exceptions to NPS, the Centre mentioned — “without application of mind” — in appointment letters that the recruits shall be governed by the new system, the HC said. The court cited Article 246 of Schedule VII of the Constitution that “armed forces of the Union of India include naval, military and air forces; any other armed forces...

In a landmark decision, Himachal Pradesh decided to restore the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for all the 1.4 lakh government employees in the state, becoming the fourth state to do so. By restoring the OPS, Congress has delivered on one of its poll promises. Apart from Himachal Pradesh, states like Punjab, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh have already employed the As the Himachal Pradesh government has decided to revert back to the Old Pension Scheme, here is all you need to know about the benefits offered by OPS. Old Pension Scheme: Benefits for the common man There are many reasons why government employees had been batting for the return of the Old Pension Scheme in many states. One of the primary reasons was that OPS promises life-long income for the common man after retirement. As per the Old Pension Scheme, government employees will receive their pension as per a pre-set formula which is equivalent to 50 percentof the last drawn salary. They also get the benefit of the revision of Dearness Relief (DR), twice a year. Further, the payout under the OPS is fixed and there is no deduction from the salary. The provision of the General Provident Fund (GPF) is also available under the Old Pension Scheme and is accessible to all government employees in the state. The state government is set to bear the expenses incurred on the pension under the OPS. While OPS was discontinued by the government in 2004, four states in India have decided to bring it back. The four states are ruled by opp...

New Delhi, Jan 13: Delhi High Court in its judgment has held that since paramilitary forces are armed forces, they too are entitled to benefits of Old Pension Scheme (OPS). Delivering the judgment on the plea of 80 petitioners who have all worked for CAPF, a Division Bench of Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Neena Bansal Krishna set aside the earlier government orders (GOs) and officer memorandums (Oms) in this The GO and OM had denied the benefits of the Old Pension Scheme to the personnel of the paramilitary forces. However, as the court observed that the CAPF that includes forces like the Central Reserve Police Force, Shashtra Seema Bal (BSF), Border Security Force (BSF), Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), etc. are entitled for OPS. Now, effectively the High Court of Delhi has given blanket cover to all the CAPF personnel to get the benefits of the old pe...

OPS in CAPF: हाई कोर्ट के फैसले के बाद पुरानी पेंशन के लिए भारी संख्या में पहुंचे आवेदन, मिल रहा ये जवाब विस्तार केंद्रीय अर्धसैनिक बलों 'सीएपीएफ' में पुरानी पेंशन को लेकर दिल्ली उच्च न्यायालय ने 11 जनवरी को जो फैसला सुनाया था, उसे अभी तक लागू नहीं किया गया है। उच्च न्यायालय ने केंद्र सरकार को इस फैसले का पालन करने के लिए आठ सप्ताह का समय दिया था। यह अवधि होली पर खत्म हो जाएगी। कॉन्फेडरेशन ऑफ एक्स पैरामिलिट्री फोर्सेस मार्टियरस वेलफेयर एसोसिएशन ने कहा था, अगर केंद्र सरकार इस फैसले के खिलाफ सर्वोच्च न्यायालय में जाती है, तो 'पैरामिलिट्री परिवार', पीएम आवास का घेराव करने से पीछे नहीं हटेंगे। दूसरी ओर सीएपीएफ में अब भारी संख्या में ऐसे आवेदन आ रहे हैं, जिनमें इस फैसले को लागू करने की मांग हो रही है। केंद्र सरकार/गृह मंत्रालय से कोई भी दिशा निर्देश नहीं सीआरपीएफ ने आवेदकों से कहा है कि अभी दिल्ली हाईकोर्ट के फैसले को लागू करने के लिए केंद्र सरकार/गृह मंत्रालय से कोई भी दिशा निर्देश प्राप्त नहीं हुए हैं। जब भी वहां से कोई गाइडलाइंस आएगी, तभी उनका आवेदन, अदालत के आदेश के मुताबिक डील होगा। दिल्ली हाई कोर्ट ने 11 जनवरी को दिए अपने एक फैसले में 'सीएपीएफ' को 'भारत संघ के सशस्त्र बल' माना है। इन बलों में लागू 'एनपीएस' को स्ट्राइक डाउन करने की बात कही गई है। अदालत ने अपने फैसले में कहा था, चाहे कोई आज इन बलों में भर्ती हुआ हो, पहले कभी भर्ती हुआ हो या आने वाले समय में भर्ती होगा, सभी जवान और अधिकारी, पुरानी पेंशन स्कीम के दायरे में आएंगे। केंद्रीय गृह मंत्रालय ने अभी तक इस फैसले को लागू करने बाबत कोई निर्णय नहीं लिया है। संसद सत्र के दौरान भी वित्त मंत्रालय से यह सवाल पूछा गया था कि ...
