Eligibility Age for Additional Pension Benefits – Information on Parliamentary Standing Committee Report –

Eligibility Age for Additional Pension Benefits – Information on Parliamentary Standing Committee Report – The Indian Government's Ministry of Personnel addressed Unstarred Question No. 2991 concerning the eligibility age for additional pension benefits. The current eligibility is set at 80 years, justified by increased health-related needs of older pensioners. Recommendations to lower this age to 65, as suggested by the Parliamentary Standing Committee, have been reviewed but not pursued further. The additional pension is automatically disbursed, with measures in place to ensure timely payments. To counter inflation, dearness relief applicable to pensions is provided. The government is also considering extending these benefits to state pensioners, although no specific timeline has been established.

The RBI Association needn't take 100% consent from all units.They need to arrive at a decision in their Executive Committee meeting held for the purpose and the decision should be binding on all units. The decision on legal action for proper upgradation in RBI is belated.
