In order to address the rising expense of pensions, the Finance Ministry has made significant changes to the current pension program.
The modifications, delineated in three distinct office memoranda released by the ministry, are designed to mitigate the fiscal strain on the federal government while guaranteeing sustained assistance for retired personnel and their kin.
The recently released notices state that a retired employee’s family pension can only be received after ten years of service. Furthermore, there is now a 25-year waiting period to be eligible for a Special Family Pension.
A prominent modification that has been implemented allows the entitled child of a deceased retired employee to get a pension for life in the event that the child is experiencing a disability.
