This change has come into effect from May 22 through the Central Civil Services (Pension) Amendment Rules, 2025.

According to the system till now, if an employee joined a PSU permanently from the Central Government service, and was later dismissed from there, then the pension earned during his government service was not affected. But now the employees dismissed from PSU due to misconduct or indiscipline will not get the retirement benefits earned during the previous government service.

A review process will also be implemented

The final decision in such cases of dismissal from PSUs will be taken only after review by the concerned administrative ministry. This will ensure that every case is dealt with on the basis of facts and due process.

Pension can be available in some cases

The amended rules also provide that pension can be considered in certain cases. For example, after better future behaviour, the employee’s pension can be restored or a family pension can be given.

Also, the government can consider giving Compassionate Allowance on humanitarian grounds. This is given in certain situations, such as when the financial condition of the employee is very bad, his family is affected, or he is suffering from some serious illness or helplessness.

To whom will the revised rules apply?

This amendment will apply to such government employees who were appointed on or before 31 December 2003. But this rule will not apply to railway employees, daily wage earners and IAS, IPS, IFoS officers.

Why appointments after 2003 will not be affected

Government employees appointed till 31 December 2003 were covered under the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). In this, the government guarantees pension i.e. you get lifelong pension based on your last salary.

But, all the government employees appointed from 1st January 2004 come under the National Pension System (NPS). This is a contributory scheme. In this, both the government and the employees together contribute to a fund. There is no guarantee of pension in this, it is linked to the market.

In OPS, the entire pension is provided by the government, so it can stop it. However, in NPS, the pension is generated from the employee’s own deposits and investments. It is almost impossible to seize it completely, because the funds are deposited in the name of the employee.

New rules for ration cards are being issued by the Central Government. At present, a lot of preparation has been done by the government. Let us tell you that a new device will be used at the ration card shops, due to which the ration card holders will get a big benefit. Under the new rules issued by the government, electronic point of sale devices have been made necessary at the shops, so that the ration is available in full. Along with this, there should not be any kind of disturbance.

IPOS machine has been made necessary

IPOS machine has been made necessary at the ration center by the government. Please inform that without this the ration will not be distributed. In fact, under the National Food Security Law, the central government has decided to link Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) devices with electronic scales at ration shops so that beneficiaries can get the full amount of food grains. The law has amended the rules.

What is the rule of rationing?

Let us tell you that the government says that this amendment is an attempt to further the process of improving the weighing of food grains under Section 12 of the Act by improving the transparency of the operation of Target Public Distribution System (TPDS) under NFSA. Under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), the government is giving five kg of wheat and rice per person per month to about 80 crore people of the country at a subsidized rate of Rs 2-3 per kg respectively.

Why has the rules changed?

For the beneficiary of Public Distribution System, online electronic point of sale i.e. POS device has been connected with electronic scales, after which the possibility of disturbances in weighing is eliminated. Apart from online mode, it will also work in offline mode, due to which transparency will increase and the government will be able to stop the weak distribution case.

Let us tell you that free ration will be available in 2023 as well.

It has been announced by the government to give free ration in the year 2023 as well. Crores of people are getting the facility of free ration from the government. At the same time, the government has announced to give free ration to BPL card holders till December 2023.
