        Sub :  Enhancement of minimum pension under EPS 1995 with it's inevitability , reg .

         -----------------*------------------

Respected sir ,

         With the situation of  majority of EPS 95 pensioners in  meagre pension unrevised for the past 20 years , belonging to poor category  that has made them from bad to worse in their livilihood of dependancy in Covid-19 crises for loss of employment of their children in unorganised sector and in many cases vice versa of this position , we appeal to your kindself with  the issue where and with whom tragic has hit in livilihood , narrated as hereunder , longing for issuance of kind orders that ease the lives of poor EPS pensioners . 

   The pensioners in question  have  no scope of higher pension altogether with wages of their time and defined EPS 95 pensionable service that does not account past total  P F contributory service (pre-EPS 95 service) ,  retired  in late 1990 's , early period of 2000 and some retrenched from the services by the closure of companies , 

    Secondly the EPS pensioners with refixation of pension also already done as per the hon'ble supreme court's orders  on their actual wages of their time with EPS  pensionable service , have  remained unbenefited and are continued with pension of less than Rs 3000 or around it so refixed . 

   So  these pensioners with the  wages of their time , getting ignored of their total past P F contributory service( pre-eps95 service ) for calculation of higher pension , mentioned above, are unrelated with the judgements of hon'ble supreme court that come up on merits of  review petition and SLP cases(to be heard) , as it does not make difference in their  pension 

This is the situation wherein we are suffering and continue with same quantum of meagre pension until the hike in minimum pension is made linking with dearance allowance  exceeding the present to a level as being sought or around it what hon'ble govt finds feasible  at the point mainly on the basis of average present cost of living across the nation .

     Under the circumstances mentioned  and with the discharge of liability of employers by their equal share of P F contribution to the EPFO inclusive of 8.33 percent of wages to the pension fund that grows with interest year to year, remaining  unrefundable ,  we inevitably look at the hon'ble govt  to be kindly  protected with minimum economic security in view of our less span of life , providing  a liveable pension that could keep us in a minimum standard life with normalcy , 

stress free and human dignity in the context of the financial implication that gets reduced every month over passing away of pensioners from their life .

With high regards 

Sincerely your's 

ShamRao ,National secretary EPS 95 pensioners coordination committee .
