Pursuant thereto, it was decided to
constitute a Committee of Secretaries to suggest measures for
streamlining NPS. The Committee has submitted its report. Due to rising
and unsustainable pension bill and keeping in view of fiscal
imperatives, it is not possible for the government to revert back to old
pension scheme.
