8th Pay Commission calculator: Why central govt pensioners seek 15-year commuted pension rule change

8th Pay Commission latest news: Pensioners under the central government are advocating for a quicker restoration of their commuted pensions. Various employee and pensioner associations are pushing the 8th Pay Commission to reassess this lengthy period.
