Respected sir(s) / madam ,
With the sufferings of economic insecurity and bad, pitiable dependancy status of livilihood in swirling poverty and lot of patience undergone against the injustice for decades , the EPS 1995 pensioners are in very much perturbance still looking at the hon'ble govt with very optimistic expectation for hike of minimum pension indexed with cost of living and medical facilities as being demanded that meets the cost of present days life in the context of provisions of EPS 95 that exists now.
The pension is ought to have been determined on last drawn average of 12 months actual wages with total PF contributory period of service at the time of retirement of employees by adjustment of requisite necessary pension fund contribution from the employer's share of provident fund by book adjustment of debit & credit in Regional PF offices , indexed with cost of living .
The supreme judiciary with affirmation and assertion , has upheld the economic security of pensioners , to be provided by fair pension as a matter of right for the service rendered .
But in consequence of the present provisions of employees pension scheme 1995 by amendments made , twisted now and then , as allowing higher pension on actual wages on joint excercise of option for a limited period by employer and employee.
Ceasing it and then again allowing the said benefit on the directions of hon'ble supreme court and withdrawal of the same besides ignoring the past service of pre EPS 95 service under family pension scheme 1971 leaving no scope of higher pension for the early retirees of EPS 95 .
Non- provision of dearance allowance citing the reason of non-feasibility for self funded scheme have
all brought grave and serious problem for very survival itself with health and wellbeing concerns that matters very much to the poor EPS 95 pensioners accounting in majority .
The kind attention of hon'ble govt is to be paid unfailingly for the pension to be made it PURPOSEFUL and LIVEABLE sensing the appeals made by the hon'ble elected / nominated
representatives , chief ministers of states in support of our demand that ensures the welbeing of EPS 95 pensioners in order that they live their decent minimum normal easeful life of it's remaining period .
Free of disgrace and discontent , protected of constitutional and human rights with socio-economic security what they had in service time to the extent of some consolation , obiviously not in comparison with govt pensioners placed in all comfort with more prevalises, taking care of their children and grand children too , as they have , in addition to the pension with it's dearance allowance periodically revisable , furthermore benefits for entire life time in enhancement of pension over age factor of 80 plus years onwards .
So , having undergone the man-made situation of tragic consquences by the present system of pension scheme that has squeezed the normal life what they had it , continued over this long period of time by all the successive govts , the innocent poor pensioners are in dark , disintegrated nuclier family system looking at the sky with a dream whether they would , could happen to see the light of the day in their life time .
Would the hon'ble govt sense and understand at least now the serious problem of economic insecurity in all it's right perspective to take care of senior citizen EPS 95 pensioners crossing the age of 70 ,75 years for their BASIC SURVIVAL itself or continue to hold the perpetuated position that ONLY the present range of pension on EPS 95 pensionable service and ceiling wages without dearance allowance is feasible under the self funded employees pension scheme ignoring equality of justice , discrimination regardless of what JUDICIARY , SOCIAL THINKERS and SANE CITIZENS SAY stares at the pensioners sitting with cross fingered .
Kindly let not these pensioners be dashed of their last hope kept with the hon'ble NDA govt not devaluing their services that have contributed the growth of the nation visible today in democratic governance that carries equality of justice to it's citizens .
With high regards expecting the much needed relief .
Sincerely yours
ShamRao , national secretary ,
