NEW DELHI ; BHAGAT SINGH KOSHYARI August, 29, 2013 Chairman, Bhadra 7, 1935 (Saka) Committee on Petitions ACRONYMS EPS : Employees Pension Scheme PIC : Pension Implementation Committee CBT : Central Board of Trustees EPFO : Employees Provident Fund Organization CoS : Committee of Secretaries EFPS : Employees Family Pension Scheme RPFC : Regional Provident Fund Cell EPF : Employees Provident Fund EDLI : Employees Deposit Linked Insurance ILO : International Labour Organization PROST : Pension Reform Options Software Toolkit CPI : Consumer Price Index (v) REPORT A petition signed by Shri Prakash Javadekar, MP, Rajya Sabha praying for amendment in the Employees Pension Scheme, 1995 was submitted to the Council of States on 14th May, 2012 (Appendix-I). The petition essentially aims towards providing a better pension to the employees who are members of the Employees Pension Scheme, 1995. The petitioner’s contention is that the Employees Pension Scheme, 1995 which was framed under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 seeks to provide social security benefits to the employees. Soon after the launch of Family Pension Scheme 1971, demands were made that the old age security benefit should also be provided to its members upon retirement/superannuation and in case of contingences like disability etc. The Government acceded to these demands by notifying a new Scheme w.e.f. 16.11.1995, called the Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995 replacing the erstwhile Family Pension Scheme, 1971 and the net assets of the Family Pension Scheme 1971 were transferred to Employees’ Pension Fund. 1.1 Initially, the Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995 was a family pension scheme but, later, it was converted into a regular pension scheme for employees who drew salary less than Rs.6500 per month. The scheme is mandatory on all establishments having 20+ employees and which do not have separate pension scheme of their own. Presently, around 5.5 cr employees are enrolled under the scheme and their contribution is @8.33%. The employer also contributes @8.33%, however, the Government is contributing only @1.16%. As on date, approximately 36 lakhs retired employees are getting pension under this scheme. Out of them, more than 30 lakhs get less than Rs. 1000 per month and more than 25 lakhs out of the said 30 lakhs pensioners get less than Rs.500 per month. This is too meager an amount particularly when some States are giving pension at higher rates than this to the elderly under their old age pension 2 schemes. The petitioner is of the view that the amount of pension is awfully inadequate and insufficient for survival of a family anywhere in the country. Accordingly, the petitioner has made following prayers:- i) Government should contribute @8.33% in the EPS-95 making equal contribution from the employee, the employer and the Government. ii) Ensure minimum pension of Rs.3000 or more. iii) The necessary budgetary support should be given. iv) Workers should be allowed to choose from various pension plans. v) Restore all the facilities withdrawn through various Government orders like commutation, withdrawal, etc. vi) EPS-95 pension should be indexed with inflation. 2. The Ministry of Labour and Employment, which the nodal Ministry on the subject matter of the petition in their response has submitted that an Expert Committee constituted for reviewing the Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995 had submitted their report to the Government and its recommendations are under consideration of Pension Implementation Committee (PIC), a sub - Committee of the Central Board of Trustees (CBT), Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). This matter was discussed in the 198th and 199th meeting of CBT (EPFO) but the discussion remained inconclusive. The Ministry has also submitted the following points for consideration the Committee:---- (i) The matter of ensuring minimum pension of Rs.1000/- by raising existing Government contribution from 1.16% to 1.79% has been taken up with the Ministry of Finance. This would result in increase in Government’s contribution from the existing Rs.990 cr. to Rs.1533 cr. The option to authorize the employer to divert 1.16% extra from employer’s contribution so that the total contribution 3 remains 9.49% in case of voluntary contribution over the wage ceiling. (ii) For budgetary support to the scheme, the matter has been taken up with Ministry of Finance. (iii) Government had resorted to withdrawal of some facilities under the Scheme in order to wipe out the actuarial deficit in the pension fund. From the year 2001 onwards, the valuation had shown a continuous deficit in pension fund due to unusually high incidence of early withdrawal payments, generous benefits, high life expectancy, falling interest rates from 12% per annum in 1996 to less than 8% per annum in 2006 which had an adverse impact on the earnings and consequently on the monthly pension amounts. This has also resulted in high actuarial deficits basically because of the wide spread of benefits. Apart

  • India-Angola Relations
    India-Angola Relations India and Angola have traditionally enjoyed friendly and cooperative relations dating back to pre-independence era of Angola. Bilateral relations have substantially grown since Angola´s independence in 1975. With the discovery of oil, Angola has become a major source of energy, for India. India is also keen on importing LNG from Angola, once it is ready to export LNG to other countries. This would further enhance cooperation in energy sector. Angola is the 4th largest producer of diamonds in the world while 90% of world´s rough diamonds are processed, cut and polished in India. Apart from cooperation in oil, gas and diamond sector, India is interested in participating in national reconstruction and infrastructure programmes in Angola, making it a leading example of South-South cooperation. Political Relations Late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi visited Angola in May 1986 and Mr. José Eduardo dos Santos, President of Angola since 1979, visited India in April 1987. Further, on July 10, 2009, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh met with President Jose Eduardo dos Santos on the sidelines of the G-8 meeting at L’Aquila, Italy. Other important visits from India to Angola were those of: Shri Eduardo Faleiro, then Minister of State for External Affairs in October 2006; Shri Anand Sharma, then Minister of State for External Affairs from in June 2007; Shri Jairam Ramesh, then Minister of State for Commerce in March 2008; and Shri Murli Deora, then Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas in January 2010.

SHRI BIRENDRA PRASAD BAISHYA: We achieved more than seven per cent economic growth in the last year. The credit goes to our strong banking system. Even during the period of global recession our economy had performed much better. This Government has totally failed in controlling price rise and inflation in country. Due to the total failure of the Public Distribution System people suffered a lot. People are suffering very badly in our State and the North-Eastern Region. Still Indo-Bangladesh border is open. One of the important emphasis given is regarding the protocol of the Land Border Agreement between India and Bangladesh. The land of Assam had been given to Bangladesh without consulting us. This Agreement is totally against the spirit of people of Assam. If any person from Arunachal Pradesh goes to visit China, he will not get visa. Another very serious problem faced by the people of the North-Eastern Region and the people of Eastern India is bifurcation of River Brahmaputra at ___________________________________________________ ∗This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha. 48 the source.
