23 Feb 2009, 2232 hrs IST, PTI NEW DELHI:
The government on Monday approved temporary measures to provide benefits like family and disability pension to staff recruited after
January 1, 2004.
"The Cabinet has decided that on a provisional basis existing rules in respect of these special pensionary benefits, which apply to government servants prior to January 1, 2004 will also apply to those recruited after that date", Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters after the meeting.
The government employees, except defence personnel, who have joined the service after January 1, 2004 are covered by the defined pension scheme which does not address situations like dying in harness, indirect pension, family pension and disability pension, the Minister said.
Pending report by the high level task force looking into the issue and formulation of new rules, the temporary provisions would continue, he said.
