NC-JCM staff side general secretary Shiva Gopal Mishra denies rumours claiming that the government will stop pensions for retirees as part of the 8th Pay Commission process. He says the reports are baseless.
Mishra adds that pension revision for retirees is actively under discussion with the Pay Commission. The outlets reporting his statement present the denial as clarification amid circulating claims rather than an announcement of any policy change.
Both accounts attribute the same message to Mishra, framing the development as a response to public speculation. Neither source provides details on specific proposals, timelines, or any confirmed modification to pension rules, focusing instead on rejecting the stop-pension claim and pointing to ongoing talks.
