Employee Pension Scheme row: NAC proposes to offer one-month services for free
Employee Pension Scheme row: The proposal of one-month services for free was given by the NAC national president Ashok Raut in his meeting with Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar on March 22. The committee has demanded Rs 7,500 per month minimum pension under Employee Pension Scheme 1995 and pension based on higher salary. The money generated in this form, he said, could easily be utilised to fulfill all the demands of the pension holders
Ashok Raut said that despite paying Rs 417, Rs 541 and Rs 1,250 per month during service as contribution for pension, pensioners receive the "paltry" sum of Rs 200 to Rs 2,500 as a pension. Image source: Reuters
