NPS money belongs to employees, can't go back to state govts: FM Sitharaman

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said the money in the National Pension Scheme (NPS) belongs to contributing workers and according to the law, state governments cannot get it back. This came after Congress-ruled states have sought money from Centre for reintroducing old pension scheme (OPS). "Can we change the law? It's workers' money in the central kitty," Sitharaman added.
