Mandatory health check-up of pensioners
Pensioners have demanded from the government to mandatory health checkups of the pensioners with a specific duration of 6 months or 1 year. However, the health department has said that the government is already providing health checkup facilities annually to all pensioners in the country.
But pensioners don’t need to complete their checkups, however, if any pensioner wants to complete their health checkup then they can visit the nearest CGHS hospital. The CMO of the hospital will allow pensioners to complete their health checkups annually. The department have also suggested that if any pensioner is not getting proper facilities from the hospitals they can complain it also.
Extra pension for most senior citizens
Currently, all the pensioners are receiving the same monthly pension according to their last month’s salary before retirement. After that, they are also getting multiple benefits of agreement in allowances according to the 7th pay commission. However, the pension formula is the same for all pensioners from the age of 60 to the age of 90 or more.
So the organization of pensioners has suggested the government increase an extra 5% pension for those aged between 65 to 70, 10% extra pension for the age group 70 to 75, a 15% pension increment for the group 75 to 80, and 20% extra tension for 80 + senior citizens in the country. The secondary of doppw has responded to the demand of pensioners that it is not acceptable due to the current budget of the Central Government.
It will increase the extra financial burden on the government. Apart from this Central government is a role model for state governments so if the central Government increases age-based pensions for pensioners then the state government pensions will also demand the state government to increase their pension accordingly and it will increase the financial burden on the state government as well as centre.

Apart from the monthly pension, the government is also providing fixed medical allowances to the beneficiaries of their pension. Pensioners are receiving rs 1000 per month to purchase medicines for their Medicare. Organisations are demanding 1000 rupees is not enough in 2024 to purchase medical items so it should be increase up to 3000 per month. However government officers have said that, they have already increased it by up to rs 1000 according to the province of the 7th pay commission and now it will not be increased further as per the suggestions of the finance department.
So if you are a pensioner or a family member of the pensioner who is affected from it then you can wait for the final solution from the authority. Apart from the pension amount, pensioners have also demanded to provide railway facilities for pensioners who have retired from the Indian railways. Railway is already providing medical and other allowances to all the family members of the pensioners including wife, daughter and other members. But they cannot fulfill the demand of 100% free railway travel facilities as they are already providing 53% compensation to the family members of the pensioners on Indian railway tickets.
