Most retirees to receive monthly pension on time despite strike
The Department of Pensions has informed the President that it has completed depositing funds for the pensions due to paid on July 10.
The Department has stressed that while there won't be any delay in the paying of the pensions for about 99.5% of pensioners, there might be a small percentage who are due to receive their pensions from rural banks and societies who will be issued their pensions on July 11 instead of 10. This is owing to the two-day strike conducted by public sector trade unions. As a result of the trade union action, the Divisional Secretariets did not function on July 8 and 9.
The Pensions Department has revealed that more than Rs. 28 billion in funds necessary for the payment of the pensions have been deposited in banks.
