The National Agitation Committee (NAC) on Saturday said it has proposed to the government that around 45 lakh pensioners would offer their one-month services for free as the Centre has so far not accepted their demands for increasing pension.
This proposal was given by the NAC national president Ashok Raut in his meeting with Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar on March 22.
The committee has demanded Rs 7,500 per month minimum pension under Employee Pension Scheme 1995 and pension based on higher salary.
“As per the proposal, around 45 lakh pensioners, falling under the age group of 58 to 65 years, would offer their one month services for free,” he said in a statement.
