Concerning the letter No.63/2024 dated 08/11/2024 received from AINPSEF, with the agenda to reinstate OPS through the National Mission for OPS (Bharat), we, the TNAI, Delhi Branch, appreciate your organisation for leading the drive to bring nationwide change to the Old Pension Scheme.

I am pleased to inform you that TNAI, in the Memorandum of TNAI HQ to the 7th CPC on behalf of the Nurses of India in July 2014, it has already been recommended in point No 9 subpoint (k) regarding the re-instatement of the old Pension Scheme. Henceforth, we at the TNAI Delhi state branch also extend support to AINPSEF in this drive of Peaceful demand. We believe that this collective cause is of immense importance to all the employees in ensuring their financial security post-retirement. This letter of support is an official expression of TNAI and our solidarity with the demand for reinstatement of OPS– Pension Jay Ghosh Rally.

With an optimistic vision that this rally will be a significant step towards achieving our shared goal of reinstatement of OPS. Thank you.
