The Assam government on Wednesday announced that it will give a monthly pension of Rs 15,000 to over 300 people jailed during the Emergency period.

If the person is not alive, his wife will get the amount, and if both of them have died, their unmarried daughter will get the money.&nbsp;

"To recognise their contribution towards democracy, the Assam Cabinet today approved giving a monthly pension to 301 people. They will receive Rs 15,000 per month. If the person is no more, his wife will get the amount, and if both of them have died, their unmarried daughter will get this sum," he said.

Explained: Why govt employees want to restore Old Pension Scheme?

Old Pension Scheme vs New pension scheme: Why govt employees want to restore the old scheme?

Lakhs of Maharashtra state government employees went on an indefinite strike from March 14, seeking restoration of the old pension scheme, hampering functioning of various services and facilities at hospitals

Lakhs of government employees in Maharashtra have gone on strike demanding the restoration of the old pension scheme.&nbsp; From sanitation workers to teachers, paramedics and other govt staff, have all joined the strike for the implementation of the old pension scheme, which comes at a time when board examinations for Classes 10 and 12 are underway.
Under Old Pension Scheme (OPS), the pension amount is provided by the government, which increases its liability, whereas the New Pension Scheme has a contributory mechanism from the employee as well as the government.&nbsp;
It's been almost 20 years since the central government introduced the New pension scheme, in which the beneficiaries will be able to withdraw 60% of the amount invested after retirement.&nbsp; What is Old Pension Scheme? Old Pension Scheme (OPS) is a retirement scheme approved by the central government which provides a monthly pension to the beneficiaries till the end of their life service. Under this, the amount of monthly pension is equal to half of the last salary drawn by an individual.
Employees raised slogans like "Only one mission, restore old pension" outside government offices and hospitals.
Some non-BJP-ruled states including Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh have already reverted to OPS and ditched the new pension scheme (NPS).

More than 250 protests are expected in Paris and around the country in what organisers hope is their biggest show of force yet against President Emmanuel Macron’s showcase legislation, after nearly two months of demonstrations.

France comes to standstill as union workers take to streets over pension reform bill

More than 250 protests are expected in Paris and around the country in what organisers hope is their biggest show of force yet against President Emmanuel Macron&rsquo;s showcase legislation, after nearly two months of demonstrations.

France is expected to come to a standstill as workers across public transport and education sector among others go on fresh strikes and protests against a controversial pensions reform that would push back the retirement age for millions.
The new pensions bill will raise the retirement age to 64 from 62 which unions see as a broader threat to the French social model. Another change that will be incorporated is that citizens will have to work for 43 years, currently 42, to be able to avail a full pension.&nbsp;
Opinion polls suggest that most French voters are opposed to the bill which is under debate in the French Senate this week.
More than 250 protests are expected in Paris and around the country in what organisers hope is their biggest show of force yet against President Emmanuel Macron&rsquo;s showcase legislation, after nearly two months of demonstrations.
Police expect 1.1 million to 1.4 million people to hit the streets Tuesday in more than 200 locations nationwide, a source has told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"I call on all the country's employees, citizens and retirees who are against the pensions reform to come out and protest en masse," the head of the CFDT union Laurent Berger told the France Inter radio station Monday.
"The president cannot remain deaf" to the protests, he added.

EPFO subscribers can opt for higher pension 

EPFO has introduced a new procedure by which employers and subscribers to jointly apply for higher pensions under the Employees&rsquo; Pension Scheme (EPS). This will enable employees to accumulate a larger corpus towards their pension.&nbsp;

The employee provident fund organisation (EPFO) has come out with a new procedure that allows opting for a higher pension. Employers and subscribers can jointly apply for higher pensions under the employees pension scheme. This mans, the employer-employee can jointly request the EPFO to deduct 8.33% of the actual monthly basic salary towards the pension scheme. This will ensure a larger pension corpus.&nbsp;
Who can avail this?&nbsp; 1) Employees who were members before September 1, 2014, and continued to be a member on or after that date&nbsp; 2) Employees and employers who had contributed on salary exceeding the wage ceiling of Rs 5,000 or Rs 6,500&nbsp; 3) Employees and employers who did not exercise the joint option in the previous window while being EPS members&nbsp;
The EPFO&rsquo;s new guidelines have been issued in compliance with Supreme Court's November 4, 2022 order. The deadline to apply for higher pension under EPS was March 3, 2023, as mandated by the Supreme Court judgement.&nbsp;

Drone delivers govt pension to disabled man in remote Odisha village

Trending: this Odisha village used drone to deliver pension to a disabled man

An official said the sarpanch took the initiative herself as the government does not have the provision to buy such devices to deliver services

Hetaram Satnami, a physically challenged man who lives in a remote village in Odisha's Nuapada district, had to travel 2 km every month through a dense forest to collect his government pension.
This month, however, he did not have to face the ordeal as a drone came with the cash and dropped it at his house in Bhutkapada village in Bhaleswar panchayat area.
"The sarpanch sent the money with the help of a drone. It's a big relief for me as the panchayat office is over 2 km away from the village, which is surrounded by a dense forest," said a beaming Satnami, who is a beneficiary of the state's Madhu Babu Pension Yojana.
Sarpanch Saroj Agarwal said she bought a drone online after getting to know about Satnami's ordeal.
"In our panchayat area, there is a village located in the forest, Bhutkapada. A physically-challenged man, Hetaram Satanami, lives in that village. He can't move, since birth," Agarwal said.
"I enrolled him for the pension under the state scheme. I have seen how things are sent through drones in other countries. That's why I placed the order for a drone and got the money delivered to his doorstep," she said.
Subadar Pradhan, the block development officer (BDO) of Nuapada, said it was made possible with Agarwal's own initiative as the government does not have the provision to buy such devices to deliver services.
Drones are being used across the world to deliver different goods, including medicines, parcels, groceries and food, but delivering cash, that too in India, is a first-of-a-kind initiative.

Himachal Pradesh govt restores old pension scheme; 1.36 lakh employees to get benefit

The Congress party had promised to take a decision to restore Old Pension Scheme (OPS) at the first meeting of the government and it stood by the promise.

The Himachal Pradesh government on Friday approved restoration of Old Pension Scheme in its first cabinet meeting, calling it a "Lohri gift" to 1.36 lakh employees who currently are under the New Pension Scheme.
The Congress party had promised to take a decision to restore Old Pension Scheme (OPS) at the first meeting of the government and it stood by the promise. &nbsp;The Cabinet also decided to adopt the Election Manifesto of the Congress party as policy document of the Government.
Briefing media persons after the cabinet meeting, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said: "During her election tour, AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi had told us to promise restoration of OPS and we included it in the Pratigya Patra and fulfilled the promise at very first cabinet meeting".
He further added that the benefit of old pension scheme would be given from today (January 13, 2023) and notification in this regard would be issued soon.
Asserting that the promise to provide Rs 1,500 per month to women in the age bracket of 18 to 60 years would be implemented, the chief minister said that a cabinet sub-committee headed by Agriculture Minister Chander Kumar and Dhani Ram Shandil, Anirudh Singh and Jagat Negi as members has been constituted to prepare a road map for disbursement of Rs 1,500 per month in 30 days.

In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court has ordered full-time pensionary benefits to 32 retired women Short Service Commission officers

Victory for 32 former women officers, SC asks IAF to consider paying full pension

In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court has ordered full-time pensionary benefits to 32 retired women Short Service Commission officers

32 retired women Short Service Commission officers of the Indian Air Force could get full pension benefits after the Supreme Court ruled in their favour.
The apex court has directed the Centre and the Indian Air Force to consider granting Permanent Commission to the 32 former officers based on their suitability with the purpose of giving them pensionary benefits.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and justices Hima Kohli and J B Pardiwala, however, refused to order their reinstatement on the ground that they were released from service way back between 2006 and 2009.
The bench said the women officers, if found eligible by the IAF for grant of permanent commission, will be entitled to grant of one-time pensionary benefit from the date when they would have completed 20 years in service if it had continued.
While granting relief to the former women IAF SSC officers, the bench said they had joined the services during 1993-1998 under the legitimate expectation in pursuance of the policy decision that they will be considered for grant of permanent commission after five years.
However, instead of being considered for the permanent service commission, they were granted extensions of six and four years successively and, before being released from service, finally during 2006 to 2009.
&ldquo;These women SSC officers had the legitimate expectation of being granted an opportunity to claim permanent commission in terms of prevailing policy,&rdquo; it said.
In a landmark verdict on February 17, 2020, the top court had directed that women officers in the Army be granted permanent commission, rejecting the Centre's stand on their "physiological limitations" as being based on "sex stereotypes" and "gender discrimination against women".
