Rajasthan Government Boosts Pension Benefits for Employees Dependents

Rajasthan Pension Rules Change: The Rajasthan government has taken a major decision for the dependents of employees, which is set to prove to be a significant gift. The Bhajan Lal government has taken this important decision and delivered good news. A significant change has been made to the pension rules.

The cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma also made significant changes to the civil service rules. The decision to increase the pension limit also surprised many. Until now, 30 per cent of the pension was given to parents after the death of an employee, but Rule 62 has been repealed. This will no longer be the case. The decision to provide 50 per cent of the family pension to parents has been approved.

How much pension will parents receive?

The Rajasthan government has announced that after the death of an employee, parents will also receive a 5 per cent family pension. Additionally, mentally retarded or disabled children can also receive a family pension after marriage. Previously, this benefit was terminated upon marriage. A decision has also been taken to increase the pension limit from Rs 8,550 to Rs 13,750. This is a major decision by the Rajasthan government, which will prove to be a booster dose.

The government also gave this gift.

According to Deputy Chief Minister Premchand Bairwa, the draft bill for the Maharana Pratap Sports University, Jaipur, has been approved. This university will promote research in sports science and technology. It will also improve the quality of sports and the performance of athletes, and will be in line with the National Education Policy and serve as a centre of excellence. This sports university, named after Maharana Pratap, will also provide special encouragement to sports across the country.

A major update on the NRI quota

The cabinet also made major revisions to the NRI quota fees and management quota fees for medical colleges. Until now, the NRI quota fees were Rs 3.1 million, and the management quota fees were Rs 9 million. Meanwhile, the NRI quota was set at 35 per cent for management and 1 per cent for NRIs.

This had a provision for aper annual percentage increase. This was causing losses to colleges. Furthermore, the Cabinet has now decided that the NRI quota fee will be two and a half times that of the management quota. This will reduce the NRI fee to less than Rs 2.4 million.
