Though the Expert Committee on Pension has recommended that the minimum pension for all EPF contributors should be Rs. 1000, both the Government as well as the employers are reluctant to implement the same. They want that the workers should contribute more for getting this minimum pension. This is a wrong and impracticable argument.
In many states pension is being given to senior citizens and other categories of people without any contribution at all, as part of the social responsibility of the government. In the case of workers who contribute to EPF, how can the government take another line. Rs. 1000/- is not much and contribution is also there.
A sensible government have to ensure and implement this genuine demand of the workers without any further delay.
