Pensioners Urge 8th Pay Commission to Cut Commutation Restoration Period to 11 Years
The Bharat Pensioners' Samaj (BPS) has requested the Centre and the 8th Pay Commission to reduce the pension commutation restoration period from 15 to 11 years. This demand follows a September 16, 2026, Himachal Pradesh High Court ruling that urged a rational review of the period based on updated actuarial and economic conditions. BPS argues that the current commutation tables, last revised in 2006, are outdated and calls for a fresh actuarial review to reflect changed life expectancy and financial parameters.
