SRINAGAR, October 6, 2026 [VoM News]: After the Jammu Kashmir Govt announces the development for employees to switch to Old Pension Scheme, now, the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh has invited eligible officers and officials of its Srinagar Wing to exercise their option for switching from the National Pension System (NPS) to the Old Pension Scheme (OPS).
