The Maharashtra Rajya Shikshan Kranti Sanghatana has urged Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to extend Old Pension Scheme benefits to school teachers and employees appointed before November 1, 2005. State president Sudhir Ghaghas said employees hired through unaided and phased grant-in-aid posts face uncertainty over retirement benefits and sought a decision before Teachers’ Day.
Bhiwandi: With Teachers’ Day approaching on September 5, the Maharashtra Rajya Shikshan Kranti Sanghatana has urged Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to take a “historic decision” and extend the benefits of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) to school teachers and employees appointed before November 1, 2005, on unaided and phased-grant-in-aid posts.
Representation Submitted To Chief Minister
In a representation addressed to the Chief Minister, organisation state president Sudhir Ghaghas argued that thousands of teachers and non-teaching employees appointed before the implementation of the Defined Contributory Pension Scheme (DCPS) have been left in a state of uncertainty over their retirement benefits.
According to Ghaghas employees appointed against posts advertised before 1 November 2005 were granted the benefit of the Old Pension Scheme. However, teachers and school employees who entered service during the same period through unaided or phased grant-in-aid arrangements continue to remain covered under the DCPS or National Pension System (NPS).
