He added that the pension fund plays an important part in the economy. Jalan said the pension fund market in India is of around Rs 20 lakh crore and there is a need to deepen the market...

सातवें वेतन आयोग में 2004 से बंद फैमिली पेंशन फिर शुरू कर सकती है सरकार
भोपाल. केंद्र और राज्यों के 33 लाख कर्मचारियों के लिए यह अच्छी खबर है। सरकार उन्हें अगले साल से फैमिली पेंशन देने पर विचार कर रही है। सातवें वेतन आयोग की सिफारिशों में इसका प्रावधान किया गया है। प्रदेश सरकार को दिसंबर माह तक केंद्र सरकार को अपनी रिपोर्ट सौंपनी है, जिसे मंजूरी मिलने के बाद कर्मचारियों को इसका लाभ 1 जनवरी 2016 से मिल सकता है। अभी अप्रैल, 2004 के बाद सरकारी नौकरियों में भर्ती हुए अफसर से लेकर कर्मचारियों को अंशदायी पेंशन मिलती है, जबकि इससे पहले के कर्मचारियों को फैमिली पेंशन मिल रही है। इसमें न्यू पेंशन स्कीम (एनपीएस) के तहत भर्ती हुए कर्मचारियों की परेशानी यह है कि उन्हें रिटायरमेंट के बाद पेंशन मिलेगी या नहीं, यह तय ही नहीं है। इसके तहत उनके वेतन से 10 प्रतिशत और इतनी ही राशि सरकार के अंश की होती है। रिटायरमेंट तक यह राशि काटी जाएगी जिसमें से 70 प्रतिशत राशि कर्मचारी को नकद दी जाएगी और बाकी 30 प्रतिशत पेंशन फंड के लिए जमा किए जाने का प्रावधान है जिसमें से उन्हें जीवित रहने तक आंशिक पेंशन दिया जाना है। अभी यह है प्रावधान :...

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today asked the government to apprise it about the factual position on the issue of "batch parity" in promotion of army officers of the rank of Colonel and above belonging to various branches like the Armoured Corps, Engineering, Infantry and Artillery.
