Ludhiana: Despite directions from high court, agri varsity fails to revise pensions

Hindustan Times  

Despite Punjab and Haryana high court’s ruling, directing Punjab Agricultural University to revise the pensions of the teachers who retired before 2016, the varsity has failed to take required action within the assigned time frame. The Punjab government had in May 2023 issued a notification revising the pay scale of the teachers under the University Grants Commission norms with effect from January 1, 2016. Besides revising the pension, the court also asked the university to release the arrears of the revised pension from January 2016 till May 2023 within a period of six months. PAU comptroller Shami Kapoor said, “We have written to the state government regarding the issue and we are waiting for their response.” PAU Teacher Pensioners’ Association president Sarjit Singh Gill, who retired in 2006 as director, extension education, explained that the confusion regarding pre and post January 2016 came with a “redundant” point the May 2023 state government’s notification.
