Bhubaneswar, Dec 17: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik Thursday wrote a letter to the Centre seeking revision of Employees Pension Scheme-1995 (EPS-95) which will benefit at least 1.62 lakh people in the state. A copy of the letter was released to the media.
The beneficiaries of the Employees Pension Scheme - 1995, managed by Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), are being given a paltry amount, the chief minister wrote in the letter to Santosh Kumar Gangwar, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge), Labour and Employment. I would like to draw your kind attention to the plight of around 1.62 lakh EPF pensioners all across my state, who with a paltry monthly pension after their retirement are facing much hardships in their advanced age.
