J&K offers eligible staff chance to move from NPS to OPS
In short
The Jammu and Kashmir government is letting some employees switch from NPS to OPS. The report says the offer is for people appointed to certain roles before December 2009 who joined on or after January 2010, and they can apply until December 2026.
This matters for eligible workers because it could change their retirement benefits, but the reporting does not say how many can use it or what it will cost the government.
