By a notification dated December 28, 2023, the Madhya Pradesh Governor amended the Madhya Pradesh (Work Charged and Contingency Paid Employees) Pension Rules, 1979. This modification is made to a subrule that had been adopted in a previous notification dated February 27, 2023. According to the previous notification, when permanent employees retired, qualifying service could be calculated for them under the original Rule 6, which began to count service on January 1, 1959. Subrule 2 stated that service from January 1, 1959, onward will be counted for pension reasons as if rendered in a regular post if a permanent employee retired without interruption from any regular pensionable post.
The latest amendment, which takes effect immediately, replaces the word "before" in subrule 3 of Rule 6 with "after." This means that any temporary employee's service performed on the terms of a regular pensionable post after January 1974, uninterrupted and for a minimum of six years, will be counted toward their pension, provided that the service was performed on a regular basis. The change permits temporary workers to be eligible for pension benefits provided they worked continuously in a regular pensionable position for at least six years after January 1974.
