COMMENTS
The issue needs attention of authority for earliest implementation of recommendation by the Ho’nable Parliamentarians committee.
Thanks
I am of the opinion that instead of age based it could be 50% of increment in as much as pension being 50% of last drawn increment,
माननीय सभापति राज्य सभा और माननीय अध्यक्ष लोक सभा से निवेदन है कि सरकार संसदीय समिति की सिफारिशों को लागू नहीं करती तो इसे बनाने का क्या लाभ है कृपया इस विषय में कुछ किजिए

I really do not know why ministry of finances not considering updation of pension to retired bank employees
Retired Bank employees don’t have critical mass to make a vote Bank. The Liars of Finmin, said one thing inside parliament another out side. They pumped 44k crores to right the wrong Balance sheets, surprisingly all banks are back in black but do not have funds to pay increased pension like cent.govt employees. What a bunch of losers are we to vote this unholy lot of monkeys.
