Respected madam ji ,
We, all EPS 1995 pensioners
settled across the nation welcome your kindself with good wishes on having assumed the post of central provident fund
commissioner ,
EPFO , New Delhi
we in sincereity request for the executive compliance of the orders of highest judicary on determination of normal pension on last drawn 12 months wages in universal formula in vogue on the pragmatic approach of scientific , logic and above all humanity respecting to the verdict of the of hon'ble supreme court already given in respect of EPS 1995 cases of pensioners withdrawing review petition and SLP .
Now in the context of inadequate and UNLIVEABLE pension being provided to the EPS 95 pensioners comprising lady pensioners .
widow pensioners and the pensioners of poor category , unsupportive of children in the present nuclier family system of the day under changed circumstances with tale of poverty shedding in tears , it is humbly expected with very much hope that you would kindly look into the burning issue and solve the problem at the earliest taking into consideration the unspeakable sufferings being undergone by the pensioners for just basic maintenance of life at it's present cost for years together with minimum pension of Rs 1000 and also the meagre range of pension not exceeding much above Rs 3000 without dearance allowance (unlinked to living cost index) determined on ceiling wages under the employees pension scheme 1995 negating the purpose of it .
This meagre minimum pension and also the meagre range of pension as mentioned above , fixed on ceiling wages with the only service of EPS 1995 taken it as pensionable, unaccounted of pre- service of family pension scheme 1971 has been kept stagnant with no annual reliefs for the past more than 20 years as a result of which the EPS 95 pensioners are made to survive their life with disruption , distress and pathetic dependancy on others in the state of human indignity . Many of the EPS pensioners are getting even less than minimum pension of Rs 1000 .
The EPS 1995 based on " defined contribution - defined benefit social security scheme " unlinked to living cost index with accrual of no annual reliefs since the year 2000 is taking the lives of pensioners in disgust and stressful conditions with loss of mental peace .
The EPS pensioners about 23 thousands or so are getting their normal pension of higher benefit on the basis of last drawn 12 months wages with excercise of one time joint option allowed for only a six months period limit that was stopped at the closure of it's time not getting it ensured of it's notice / not bringing to the knowledge of all EPS 95 pensioners at the relevant time for the benefit of higher pension with a failure of wide circulation among them for it's excercise . The said joint option ought to have been kept open for excercise which would not have created the litigations .
For the past more than ten years , the unrest of the EPS pensioners has been continuously exhibited by peaceful protests with memorandums against the descriminate system and stoppage of benefit of higher pension on actual wages demanding for hike of minimum pension at present value of koshiyar committee's recommendation with DA given 8 years back and fixation of pension on last drawn 12 months wages withdrawing the circulars that have stopped the benefit of higher pension on actual wages against it's own decision approved as ordered by the hon'ble supreme court .
So we all the retirees under provident fund act request your kindself to restore the normal pension on last drawn 12 months actual wages with hike of minimum pension linked to living cost index DA being the component of service pension as being demanded that meets the present cost of livilihood that runs in not less than Rs 10000 in order of national average cost of life with govt free medical facilities solving this human crises faced by the service pensioners , not alienating the service pension from the established universal system . So we seek your kind justifiable action in the matter .
With high regards anticipating your decisive steps that stands to the reason .
Sincerely your's
ShamRao , national secretary
EPS 95 pensioners coordination committee ,
Bidar , Karnataka
