Pension Court: After they stop working, senior citizens frequently encounter difficulties with receiving their retirement funds. Their pension is inexplicably delayed, with no explanation given, forcing them to repeatedly visit an office. However, current ex-railway workers will no longer encounter these issues.
Indian Railways plans to establish a pension court
Indian Railways plans to establish a pension court for its employees to efficiently address any issues. Railways plans to establish similar pension courts in different divisions. Another pension adalat will take place in Prayagraj Division of North Central Railway on December 16, running from 11 am to 5 pm. Only dependents of retired or deceased employees from North Central Railway Headquarters Prayagraj are eligible to seek assistance in resolving any complaints regarding retirement benefits or pension.
Pension court will only hear the retired employee’s application
Other divisions will also establish similar pension courts. Retired employees whose pension is stalled obtain details about the pension court from their relevant departments and attend the court session for a resolution. The pension court will only hear the retired employee’s application from the division where they used to work. Applicant’s name, former employee’s name, job title and last workplace, applicant’s relationship with former employee, current address, retirement status. Date of passing, Retirement type (General/Voluntary/Voluntary Essential/Death), PPO number. The final salary, pay structure, thorough complaints list, phone number, and two application copies with email address must be submitted to Assistant Personnel Officer/HQ North Central Railway, G, Block, Mandakini Complex, Subedarganj, Prayagraj before the court date, with attachment of photocopy.
Pension courts in various regions are going to start with high hopes to resolve problems related to pension. Facing problems during receiving pension is now new in our country. People openly criticised the process for delay. Now this initiative can be revolutionary if it works according to plan.
