Pension amounts to 70% of the last drawn basic salary at the time of retirement. A person who serves in government for 25 years or more draws a pension until they turn 80, and after their death at least 13 heirs can claim family pension.
Non monetary benefits are much higher in the public than in the private sector.
Around 80% of those in the private sector dont have any non-monetary facility; ratio is only 7% in the public sector. Over 76% of public sector employees avail more than three facilities.

About time we recognize the need to reform the civil service, keep a check on the privileges, and remove inefficiencies that plague the system for a better functioning bureaucracy. Time to rid the colonial mindset on which this rests. The progress of the country depends on it.
