ITANAGAR, Nov 3: The National Movement for Old Pension Scheme (NMOPS), Arunachal Pradesh in a representation to the Chief Secretary has appealed to implement the old pension scheme in the state.
Government employees who are appointed on various posts on or after 01/01/2004 are not eligible for old Pension schemes and are forced to opt for new pension scheme (NPS). But the interest of the government employees had been curtailed by the government by not granting any pension after their retirement even after giving their whole life for the development of the state.  Hence, the old pension scheme should be implemented in the state so that all retired employees or their family members can obtain pension/financial benefit,  the association said.

The NMOPS further said that  various state governments like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, West Bengal have already banned NPS and implemented old pension scheme (OPS). Since, our state is 100% tribal tax free state, there is no need to implement New pension Scheme, it said.
