Constant Attendance Allowance Hiked

Constant Attendance Allowance Hiked

The constant attendant allowance given to a retired employee has increased to Rs 6,750 per month from the existing Rs 4,500, by an official OM issued now. This is effective from 1-7-2017.

The allowance is sanctioned if, in the opinion of a competent medical authority, a 100 per cent disabled retired employee needs the services of a constant attendant for at least three months.

Accordingly, the allowance has been hiked from Rs 4,500 to Rs 6,750 per month, said the order issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
