OPS vs NPS numbers shock: Govt data reveals only 1 National Pension System pensioner for 139 Old Pension Scheme retirees

Data presented in Parliament reveals a stark disparity, with only one NPS pensioner for every 139 OPS pensioners. While NPS was implemented in 2004, a low number of central government employees have retired under it. As far as pensioners receiving pension under NPS are concerned, as many as 49,802 pensioners were receiving their payouts under the new scheme.
