The Standing Committee of Parliament has also suggested in this regard. It is being told that the decision to increase the minimum pension is being taken on the basis of the recommendations of the committee.
The Standing Committee of Parliament had suggested this in March 2021. The committee had said that the minimum pension amount should be increased from the existing one thousand to three thousand. However, pensioners say that it should be increased to 9 thousand. This will happen only then the pensioners associated with EPS-95 will be able to get the benefit in the true sense.
There is also a suggestion that the minimum pension should be decided from the last salary of the person concerned. The minimum pension should be fixed on the basis of the last salary received by the employee just before retirement. This suggestion can also be considered in the meeting of the Labor Ministry going to be held in February.
