The Retired Employees Welfare Association (REWA) recently wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking clarity on pension revision for central government employees who retired before January 1, 2026. The REWA requested the Finance Ministry to amend the 8th Pay Commission’s terms of reference (ToR) to include pension and family pension revision clauses for these retirees.
The REWA also urged the Prime Minister that until a formal amendment to the 8th CPC ToR is done, the government should provide clarification or issue a press release to remove confusion among pensioners who retired before January 1 this year.
