9th KERALA PAY REVISION

PENSION REVISION

The 9^th Kerala Pay Revision Commission has not turned up to consider the genuine demands raised by various organizations representing state service pensioners.

1.       Major demand for issue of Identity Card to the Pensioners for various purposes like proof of age for claiming  benefits of senior citizens, opening  and  operating bank accounts, proof for occupying government rest houses etc etc are not considered by the Commission even though there is not much financial commitment to Government.  More over the pensioners are also willing to meet the cost.

2.       Request for granting weightage based on the length of past service so as to rectify the anomaly on one rank pension was not considered by the commission.

3.       Request for a second commutation for 6 years on the basis of medical check up was not considered even though there is provision for repayment.

4.       Request for rent concession in Government guest houses and Rest houses to pensioners were not considered.

5.       Request  for Medical coverage to the pensioners as in the case of Central Govt. pensioners or introduction of Mediclaim was not considered by the Commission.
