The Reserve Bank of India warned States against the inevitable return to the previous pension scheme, describing it as a significant financial risk (OPS).
The central bank reversion to OPS by some States poses a significant danger on the “subnational fiscal horizon” and would cause them to accumulate unfunded liabilities in the upcoming years, according to their most recent research, “State Finances: A Study of Budgets of 2022-23.”
Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Punjab have so far allowed their employees to use the Dearness Allowance (DA) related OPS.
