The Karnataka government has officially notified the inclusion of 13,000 employees, originally notified before April 1, 2006, but appointed at a later date, into the Old Pension Scheme. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced on ‘X’ that he fulfilled a promise made to government employees who went on strike opposing the new pension scheme.

He assured during pre-election visits to the striking employees that their demand against the NPS would be met once in power. The Chief Minister expressed hope that the decision brings relief to the families of the 13,000 employees under the NPS.
