Agitation was carried across the country to press for revision of pension for NABARD recruits retired up to October 31, 2017 and revision of family pension as approved by the government and removal of upper ceiling on family pension, AINREWA said in a statement.

Government of India, vide their order dated July 21, 2023, approved revision of pension only to those employees who opted to join NABARD from Reserve Bank of India at the time of formation of NABARD, excluding NABARD recruited pensioners from getting the benefit of pension revision and created two classes of retirees within the organization, it said.

It is the sole responsibility of NABARD Management to ensure the removal of this anomaly without further delay, it added.
