Teachers to get pension within a month of retirement
Kolkata After ensuring the teachers are paid salary on the first day of the month, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday announced that school teachers will start getting pension from the next month of their retirement and that it will not be delayed for the want of verification from the Education department.
The college teachers in state will retire at the age of 60 years with all the benefits, including the 80% arrears lying with the Centre, which had insisted that if the retirement age is not extended to 65 years, the arrears won't be released to Bengal.
