Govt Staff to Get Disability Compensation' if They Get Disabled in Line of Duty: Jitendra Singh

News 18  

"Disability compensation" has been extended to all serving central government employees who get disabled in the line of duty and are retained in service in spite of such disablement, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Friday. "However, with the new order issued by the Department of Pensions in the Ministry of Personnel, the employees covered under NPS will also get benefits under Rule of Extra Ordinary Pension," it said. In other words, if a government servant gets disabled while performing his duties and this disablement is attributed to government service, in that case if he is still retained in the service in spite of disablement, a lump sum compensation will be paid to him by arriving at the capitalised value of the disability element, with reference to the commutation table in force from time to time, the statement said. "As a result, now the family pension of 50 per cent of the last pay is also admissible to the family of employees who die even before completing seven years of service," the statement added.
