The employees of Jammu and Kashmir are at a critical juncture. The Old Pension Scheme (OPS) was not just a financial security net but a promise—a promise of dignity and stability in retirement. Today, the JKNMOPS (Jammu and Kashmir New Pension Scheme Movement for Old Pension Scheme) President has issued a stern warning: Unite now or regret later! The time to fight for the restoration of OPS is running out, and without collective action, employees risk losing everything upon retirement.
This blog is a wake-up call—a plea for unity, action, and unwavering commitment to securing what is rightfully yours.
Why OPS is the Only Lifeline for Employees
The New Pension Scheme (NPS) has left employees vulnerable, with no guaranteed post-retirement benefits. Unlike OPS, which provided a fixed pension, NPS is market-linked, meaning your future is at the mercy of volatile investments. The JKNMOPS President has repeatedly emphasized: “OPS is the only source to get benefitted in old age.”
Key Reasons to Restore OPS:
Guaranteed Pension – OPS ensures a fixed monthly pension, unlike NPS, which offers no such security.
Inflation Protection – Pension under OPS was adjusted for inflation, safeguarding retirees from rising costs.
Family Security – OPS provided family pension, ensuring financial stability for dependents after an employee’s demise.
No Market Risks – Unlike NPS, OPS was not subject to stock market fluctuations, making it a reliable safety net.
The message is clear: Unite now or regret later! Without OPS, employees face an uncertain and financially unstable retirement.
The Urgent Need for Unity: JKNMOPS President’s Warning
The JKNMOPS President has made a passionate appeal to all employees—“Unite yourselves and be a part of the movement with all resources.” The fight for OPS restoration cannot be won in isolation. It requires mass mobilization, relentless advocacy, and unwavering solidarity.
Why Unity is Non-Negotiable:
Strength in Numbers – A fragmented struggle will yield no results. Only a united front can pressure the government.
Resource Mobilization – Legal battles, protests, and awareness campaigns require collective effort and funding.
Political Influence – A strong, unified employee movement can force policymakers to reconsider.
The JKNMOPS President’s message is dire: “Otherwise, you will get nothing on retirement and aftermath in the pension.” The choice is yours—act now or suffer later.
What Happens If We Fail to Act?
The consequences of inaction are severe:
No Guaranteed Pension – NPS does not assure a fixed income post-retirement.
Financial Instability – Market crashes can wipe out your pension corpus, leaving you helpless.
No Family Protection – Unlike OPS, NPS offers limited benefits to dependents.
The JKNMOPS President’s warning is stark—“Unite now or regret later!” The time for passive waiting is over.
How Can Employees Contribute to the Movement?
Every employee must step up. Here’s how you can help:

Conclusion: The Time to Act is NOW!
The battle for OPS restoration is not just about pensions—it’s about dignity, security, and justice. The JKNMOPS President’s message—“Unite now or regret later!”—must resonate with every employee in Jammu and Kashmir.
If we fail to act today, we risk a future of financial despair. The government will only listen if we stand together. OPS is the only source to get benefitted in old age, and we must fight for it with everything we have.
