NPS , COMMUTATION from 40 to 60%, another proposed hike from 10 to 14%, what for and who is going to be beneficial?
CERTAINLY,THE GOVERNMENT AND THE HEAD OF DEPARTMENT AND NOT THE EMPLOYEE.
One of my Inspector, RPF, DECIDED NOT TO OPT FOR COMMUTATION OF 40% of his pension and he is now comfortable with 100% BASIC PENSION WITH DAY TO DAY INCREASING DA%from time to time.
2) Employee`s CONTRIBUTION FROM THEIR MONTHLY PAYMENTS IS NOTHING ELSE THAT IT SELF IS A MONTHLY FIXED DEPOSIT WHICH ULTIMATELY GIVES A RIGHT ON THEIR WHOLE SOME AMOUNT OF SOME YEARS OF CONTINUOUS CUMULATIVE DEPOSIT WITH TIME TO TIME EARNINGS OF INTEREST ON GOVERNMENT BANK RATES.
3) NOW, WITH THE ABOVE FACTORS AS KNOWN TO PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, THERE MAY BE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BELONGING TO MATHEMATICS FORMULA ABOUT COST ACCOUNTS.
4) MY FEELINGS THAT THE OLD SYSTEM OF PENSION WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY WITH EMPLOYEE PENSION, THEN FAMILY PENSION, THEN SECONDARY FAMILY PENSION.
5) THE MOST UNHIDDEN FAVOR THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN DOING TO THE PRESENT PENSIONERS IS THAT IS, IN CASE, THE PENSIONER EXPIRE, GOD FORBID, BEFORE COMPLETION OF COMMUTATION PERIOD OF 15 YEARS, THE DEDUCTION SHALL NOT BE DONE AND IN OTHER WORDS, THE FAMILY MEMBERS ARE THE BENEFICIARY.
