What is the big update in the pension of RBI pensioners?
This decision has been long-awaited for retired employees of the Reserve Bank of India. The government has approved a 10% increase in RBI pension and family pension, effective November 1, 2022. This change will increase eligible pensioners’ basic pension by approximately 1.43 times. This will significantly increase their monthly pay.
This decision will benefit over 30,000 people, including both pensioners and family pensioners. The total cost of this revision is estimated to be around Rs 2,696 crore, a significant portion of which will be arrears payments. Overall, this decision is being considered not just an increase for RBI pensioners, but a long-term financial relief.

While the outstanding payment is estimated to be around Rs 510 crore, a lump sum of arrears will also be paid under the pension revision. Furthermore, pensioners and family pensioners will receive an additional payment of crores of rupees each month. This clearly means that the financial situation of retired individuals associated with NABARD will now be both stable and strong.
