The Railway Board has notified the Rail Service (Extraordinary Pension) Rules, 2026, replacing the Rail Service (Extraordinary Pension) Rules, 1993. The new pension rules address the key areas of pension and family pension benefits for railway employees, pensioners, and family pensioners after the employee’s death or disability attributable to their railway service.
Under the new railway pension rules, death and disability are divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D. Among them, categories B and D will get extraordinary pension treatment.
