Finance Ministry is making life hell for retirees from Private Sector by reducing interest rates on Senior Citizens Savings Scheme 2004, which was started by the previous government to provide a regular income stream to senior citizens. All petitions to Finance Minister have fallen on deaf ears. The Ministry is only interested in taking care of Government retirees by using tax payer's money by giving them substantial increases in dearness allowance and pension, because it is in their own interest for their future retirement.
Even promises made in BJP Election Manifesto 2014 to Senior Citizens and Divyang Jans (Persons with disabilities) have not been delivered in 3 years time.
