Central Government Introduces Additional Pension For Seniors Aged 80+

The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) has unveiled new guidelines providing extra pension benefits for central government retirees aged 80 and above. Under the updated CCS Pension Rules, pensioners will receive incremental increases: 20% from ages 80-85, up to 100% for those over 100. These changes aim to alleviate financial pressure on elderly pensioners.
