Under the Acts, all retired judges of the Supreme
Court and High Courts and their family members are entitled to pension or
family pension. They are also entitled to an additional quantum of pension or
family pension when they attain a certain age in accordance with a specified
scale. The scale contains five age brackets (with minimum age of 80, 85, 90,
95, and 100 years), and the additional quantum increases with age (from 20% to
100% of the pension or family pension). The Bill clarifies that a
person will be entitled to the additional pension or family pension from the
first day of the month in which they complete the minimum age under the concerned
age bracket. Union Minister of Law and Justice said
that "We are only clarifying the intention of the legislature.
....... If on the basis of Gauhati HC judgment, all civil servants start
claiming pension it will be a huge problem for us."
