Sri Apurva Chandra ji, I A S
Hon'ble secretary ,
Ministry of labour and employment , govt of India ,
New Delhi.

Respected sir ,

I, on behalf of all EPS 1995 pensioners welcome your good self with best wishes to have taken up the present position .

As we all know and anticipate ,sir , that there shall be an equality of justice to the citizens in terms of their service in democratic governance that needs to be ensured all time by the hon'ble govt of the day under the values of the Indian constitution.


In brief it is brought to your kind knowledge that a grave injustice has been done to the workmen of organised sector in their retirement benefit of service pension without dearance allowance as it is not provided in the employees pension scheme 1995 , which is ought not to have been , but has been imposed with it's defeciancies and continued without revisions perpetuating it for decades (25 years) together with a quite indifferent pattern amidst the scenario of the present systems of pension applicable to central or state govts.

The pensioners under the EPS 1995 continue to get a negligible meagre pension without dearance allowance for their service in the range of less than Rs 1000 at minimum and about Rs 3000 at maximum.

Dissatisfied with the system of pension under the EPS 1995 , the petitions have come up before the supreme court and all of them tagged together against the review petition /SLP case filed by the EPFO and the hon'ble govt of India respectively is scheduled to be posted for probable final hearing on 16th October 2020.


It is our sincere appeal to your kind self that the stand to be taken by the EPFO , the hon'ble ministry of labour & employment, govt of India in the said cases may kindly have to be scientific , logic and above all humanistic approach without dogmatism on the following main issues among others.

1) Enhancement of minimum pension to the EPS 1995 pensioners (DIRE NEED) regardless of their position in higher pension on actual wages that makes negligible difference and remains in the present range with the definition factor of EPS 95 pensionable service.

(Non- beneficiaries of higher pension on actual ages) as per the recommendation report of parliamentary committee 147 with it's present valuation to a level as being demanded by the pensioners on the basis of present minimum cost of living across the country that comes not less than Rs 10000.

2) Grant of dearance allowance, an essential component, a requisite part of service pension that links with inflation to serve it's purpose, as being followed in case of govt servants.

3) Revision of pension of all EPS 1995 pensioners of exempted and unexempted companies by refixation of higher pension on actual wages / fifty percent of last drawn 12 months average wages being the universal formula.


Sir , it is very humble request of all the EPS 95 pensioners particularly, being the voice of poor category that are in majority, suffering untold hardships and dependency with the present meagre pension to the hon'ble govt demanding justice in order that they live a life of human dignity with socio-economic security with a liveable pension that happens only when they are provided the pension by it's enhancement of minimum with dearness allowance that suits the present cost of living /revision on actual wages subject to further revisions warranting time to time .

With high regards .
Sincerely yours
ShamRao, National Secretary ,
EPS 95 Pensioners Coordination Committee .
BIDAR, Karnataka
