News India Live, Digital Desk: Great news for pensioners: There is good news from the government for pensioners. The central government has issued an important order regarding pension. The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievance and Pension has issued a notification in this regard.
The Ministry of Pension has issued new guidelines on pension for retired Central Government Civil Services Employees above 80 years of age.
According to the provisions of sub-rules 6 of Rule 44 of CCS (Pension) Rules 2021, retired government employees are eligible for pension and compassion allowance after achieving 80 years or older.
Senior citizens between 80 and 85 years of age will get 20 percent additional pension of the original pension. Pensioners between 85 and 90 years of age will get 30 percent additional pension of the original pension.
Senior citizens between the ages of 90 to 95 will get 40 percent additional pension of the original pension. Senior citizens aged 95 to 100 will get 50 percent additional pension. Pensioners aged 100 years or above will get 100 percent additional pension of the original pension.
As soon as the pensioners reach the prescribed age, additional pension or compassionate allowance will be implemented. The Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare has issued a notification in this regard.
All departments and banks associated with pension and pension provision have been advised to publish information about new pension guidelines. This will help each eligible pensioner to get pension hike without any delay.
Along with this, before the age of 80, there has been a demand to give additional pension to the pensioners of the central government. The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) has recommended that pension should be increased according to age in 2023.
According to this recommendation, it has been recommended to increase pension at the age of 65, 10% at the age of 70, 15% at the age of 75 and 20% at the age of 80 years. But this recommendation has not been implemented yet.
According to the current rule, pension increases by 20% after the age of 80 years. Instead, those between 65 to 75 years of age will require more money. But a widespread opinion is that there is no point in increasing pension after the age of 80 years.
