In the New Year, the union government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi came up with a piece of good news for the central government employees, which will give them a huge sigh of relief.
The union government announced that the “Disability compensation†will be extended for the central government employees. Employees who get disabled in the line of duty during their service and get retained despite the disablement are eligible for the compensation.
Minister of State for the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region and Minister of State for Prime Minister’s Office; Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions; Department of Atomic Energy and Department of Space Jitendra Singh issued a notification in this regard.
Talking about the new notification, Jitender Singh said, the main motto of the government is to make sure that the Government servants won’t face issues despite becoming pensioners.
The union government has taken the problems faced by the employees and changed the previous rules which claim that employees appointed on or after 1.1.2004 under the National Pension System (NPS) will not get any benefits.
As another development, the government has amended the rules to provide a pension for the family of the deceased employees who lost their lives with less than 7 years of service.
