Those who retired from government service not eligible
Bringing cheer to the Information Commissioners of the Tamil Nadu Information Commission, the State government has decided to sanction pension to the State Chief Information Commissioner (SCIC) and the State Information Commissioners (SICs), if they had not retired from government service while occupying these posts. Their pension would be on par with those who served in the Central Information Commission.
Earlier, the Right to Information Act, 2005, had provision only for salaries and allowances and there was no mention about eligibility for pension. The Act fixes the monthly pay for the SCIC and the SICs at Rs. 90,000 and Rs. 80,000, respectively.
According to a notification, the State government has decided to sanction pension only to persons who are not retired government officials and who held the posts of the State Chief Information Commissioner and the State Information Commissioners for a minimum period of three completed years, at the rate of Rs. 16,020 per annum.
