EPS 95 Pensioners Minimum Pension 7500+DA Hike order, Medical Facilities, Higher Pension
Dear EPS 95 Pensioners Friends,
There may be about 67 lakhs EPS pensioners in the country. They are, curiously awaiting decisions from 2 institutions. One is the Central Government ie Mr. Modi the supreme leader. The second one is the Supreme Court, the highest judiciary of the country.
Mr. Modi was propitiated many times by many leaders including leaders of the party in the ruling. They have many times, many statements gave cajoling pensioners that Mr. Modi heard them attentively and ordered for immediate consideration and a decision. One of them was Mrs. Hema Malini Member of Parliament BJP and a celebrity from the cine field. What they said was that they have pleaded with Mr. Modi was a minimum pension of Rs 7500/. The leaders who were along with these MPs gave statements that Mr. Modi was very considerate in hearing them and they conveyed to their grass root level followers that Mr Modi is going to take a favourable decision.
Mr Javedekar who during the 2014 elections made several statements once the BJP comes to power will implement Koshiyari recommendations and grant DR linked minimum pension of Rs 3000/. BJP came to power twice in 2014 and 2019 and Mr. Javdekar continues to cabinet minister since 2014. But this great leader never bothered to raise the issue in public or in the cabinet.
Now the High Empowered Monitoring Committee appointed by the government recommended Rs 2000/as minimum pension. Minister for labour replied in the parliament that they are not in a position to implement recommendations. This is the statement for Rs 2000/ minimum pension. After being in power for the last 7 Years. We failed to take the validity of statements like ELECTION JUMLA and continue to have hope for the party in power. This poor EPS pensioner had/have great expectations from BJP. That is where EPS pensioners are stranded.
The second hope was from the judiciary. Supreme Court judgment on higher on 16-10-2016 and Upholding of Kerala Court judgment (12-10-2018) on 01-04-2019. EPS pensioners had confidence that the government will honor the Judgements of the Supreme Court. Years and years are passing. Pensioners are monitoring.

Now EPS pensioners are facing the 2nd wave of the Corona pandemic. Many have become prey to this pandemic and left this world without achieving minimum pension. This notorious government did not heed to consider minimum financial relief as was given to the workers in service in the form of paying EPF contribution for 6 months.
Dear Friends there are lakhs and lakhs of EPS pensioners who are leading a miserable old age life. Even while in service in private industries they had wages that were only handed to mouth. We can name the industries like Sugar private, cooperative, Beedy, cement, quarry and many more pri ate Industries.
Now, this corona is robbing remnants of the poor including EPS pensioners had. EPS pensioners are unable to organize themselves. In a perplexing situation. We have no other go except to wait. But when time cones EPS pensioners had to rise like one man. Let us prepare and wait for that event.
