Request for additional Pension to RBI Pensioners aged 80+

The demand for additional pension for RBI pensioners aged 80 and above has been consistently raised by AIRBIOPF and retirees’ associations across India. Despite repeated appeals since 2019 — including detailed submissions to the Finance Minister, Prime Minister, and RBI Governor — no action has been taken so far beyond one acknowledgment in January 2025.

Appeal for additional Pension for RBI Pensioners Aged 80 and Above

Renewed Appeals by the various retirees’ associations emphasize the urgency of this matter. They cite the Government of India’s own policy (OM dated 1 September 2008), which grants progressive additional pension to Central Government retirees:

  • 20% at 80 years
  • 30% at 85 years
  • 40% at 90 years
  • 50% at 95 years
  • 100% at 100 years

RBI retirees, governed by pension regulations that reference CCS rules, deserve the same recognition. The RBI Pension Fund is financially sound, and the number of eligible retirees is modest. Yet the humanitarian value of this measure is immense.
