Subject: -
Repealing of Pensions’ Act, 1871-reg.
The undersigned is
directed to refer to the subject cited above and to say that in accordance with
the instructions contained in the Cabinet Secretary’s DO letter
No.403/l/4/2014-Ca.V(Vol.V) dated 07.11.2019, a comprehensive review of the
old/obsolete Acts is required to be undertaken by each Ministry/Department. As
per these instructions, it is important to examine specific provisions of
existing Acts, to identify for their repeal or modification of any specific
provisions to help in improving governance and case of living.
2.In
this connection, it may be mentioned that the Pension Act, 1871 is an old Act promulgated in 1871. While some sections of this Act arc
relating to pension. However, some other provisions of the Act are related to
land revenue etc. this department is undertaking study of relevance of
provisions in the various section of the Act in the prevalent pension policy
paradigms. According, inter ministerial consultation was also undertaken in the
year 2016 and some of the ministries/ department had given the comments in the
matter. However , since comments of all the central ministries/departments and
state governments were not received, no conclusion could be reached in the
matter.
3. Hence, there is a need to examine the matter in
consultation with all stake holders and take a final view for its retention or
otherwise. A copy of Pensions Act 1871is available in this department’s website
http://persmin.nic.in/pension/pact1871.htm.
4. It is requested to furnish the comments of your
Ministry/Department of your ministry/Department by 20th December
2019 so that the same will be consolidated and a meeting could be convened with
all the stakeholders to finalize the issue at the earliest.
