The Chhattisgarh cabinet on Friday decided that government employees will be considered as members of the Chhattisgarh General Provident Fund (GPF) from April 1, 2022.
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel chaired the cabinet meeting here.
As part of implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) announced earlier, the central government refused to refund the amount of the National Pension System (NPS) to the state officers and employees, an official communication said on Friday.
The employee contribution deposited in the NPS account from November 1, 2004 or after that till March 31, 2022 and the dividend earned thereon will be payable to the government employee under NPS rules.
The employees will be eligible for the OPS only after depositing the contribution of the state government and the dividend earned thereon.
