The Railway Senior Citizens Welfare Society (RSCWS), a body of retired Railway employees, has submitted its recommendations to the 8th Pay Commission covering pay structure, fitment factor, allowances, welfare measures, performance incentives and retirement benefits.

Here are some of the key demands raised by the Railway pensioner body for consideration under the 8th Pay Commission.
