The Modi government has made a big change in the pension rules, keeping in view the demand of time and on the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission. According to the new rules, now the maximum pension can be given up to Rs 1.25 lakh, which was earlier only 45 thousand rupees.
Delhi: Every government employee is aware of the difficulty that has to be incurred for starting pension after retirement from government service. There are many cases in which an employee dies after retirement but pension does not start. Apart from this, there are other kinds of problems like if there is a provision of pension for a dependent in the dependent family, but now the Modi government has changed the old rules.
Maximum pension limit increased
The central government has made a big announcement for the families of government employees. After the death of a government employee, his family will now be able to get up to Rs 1.25 lakh as pension. Till now this limit was maximum 45 thousand rupees, which has been increased by two and a half times. This change will benefit the family of thousands of government employees who used to face difficulty in running the house during the inflationary times. According to the new rules, when their pension is revived, then their economic condition will improve further.
Great relief to Divyang Dependents
According to Union Minister Jitendra Singh, after the death of a government employee, if a member of the household is a disabled person and does not have any means to make a living, he will be given a lifetime pension. This decision of the Modi government will provide relief to thousands of people who were living in extreme difficulties after the death of their parents. Before this change, the Modi government churned many times and found that the present system creates a crisis of bread in front of thousands of people, which is not right at all. Apart from this, according to the Central Civil Service Pension Rules 1972 (54/6), if the total income of the dependent family of a government employee is less than 30 percent of the employee’s final salary, then the deceased dependents will have the right to get pension for life. After all the discussions, the Modi government has changed the existing system. Soon new rules will be implemented, which will provide great relief to thousands of people.
What were the rules before
According to the rules before the change, there is a provision of pension to his wife after the death of a government employee. If the victim has children in the house and none of them are mentally or physically competent, then there was no provision of pension in any way. Due to this rule, the differently-abled dependents and financially weak families had a lot of problems. Now the Modi government has given relief to those thousands of families by changing the rules.
