In one of the most retrograde moves of the BJP led NDA government, the dispensation of minimum pension of Rs. 1000 to the EPF pensioners stands suspended from April, 2015. The demand of minimum pension was agreed by the earlier UPA government after strong struggles by the pensioners organisations and the central trade unions. But the UPA government failed to implement the scheme and it was implemented by the NDA government from October, 2014 after much pressure. However when the orders in this regard was issued by the EPFO, it was purposely mentioned that the dispensation will be upto March, 2015. When the pensioners organisations and central trade unions protested against this stipulation, it was assured that the dispensation will continue beyond March, 2015. So, the government has again showed its anti-worker and anti-pensioner stand.

 AIBDPA STRONGLY CONDEMN THIS MOVE OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AND DEMAND RESTORATION OF MINIMUM PENSION OF Rs. 1000 TO THE EPF PENSIONERS IMMEDIATELY.
