the market especially after the covid affect . He also informed through the
struggles in the past we are able to force the government to constitute the pay
commission, the 7th CPC announcement was made in September 2013. Now
it is time to have series of programs to put pressure on the government to
constitute the 8th CPC , the Confederation always played a leading

issue , it was explained that those NPS employees who don’t have full service
of 33 years are getting only about 10 to 25 % as pension considering the
current market growth , even those NPS employees who have completed 33 years of
service also get only 40 % pension not the 50% in Old Pension scheme , also the
market guarantee is not there for NPS employees due to market fluctuations .
So to protect the interest of NPS employees and demand its
