Government Promises Swift Action on EPS-95 Pensioners' Demands

The EPS-95 Agitation Committee reported that Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya assured quick resolution on demands including pension increase, free medical facilities for pensioners, and rectification of application errors. Despite recent positive discussions, the lack of announcements in the Union Budget 2025-26 disappointed pensioners.

The EPS-95 Agitation Committee announced on Saturday that Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has pledged swift action concerning their demands.

Minister Mandaviya expressed a supportive stance on the longstanding demands of 78 lakh EPS-95 pensioners nationally, including a pension increase, free medical services, and rectification of pension application errors.

Despite assurances during discussions, the absence of a formal announcement in the Union Budget 2025-26 disappointed pensioners, prompting further meetings to affirm government commitment to their concerns.
