Scrapping NPS to remove future anomaly
Referring to the post of Mr P K Bhatt, the pension disparity that will arise when majority of existing employees are covered under the New Pension Scheme cannot be helped as the NPS and the Pension Scheme for pre April 2010 recruits are two different pension schemes. So there is no question of anomalies as the shemes are not legally comparable. Present old pensioners are too concerned with justice for themselves to think of this 'anomaly' that may arise long after their exit from this world.
The in-service employees' Associations/Federations are powerful enough to negotiate with the LIC/Government for scrapping the NPS which the helpless pensioners cannot do even if they wish to.
