The Non-Resident Keralites' Welfare (Amendment) Act, 2015

General20155 sections

The Non-Resident Keralaites' Welfare (Amendment) Act, 2015 amends the existing welfare scheme for people from Kerala living abroad. It raises the retirement age from 55 to 60 years for receiving pension benefits and extends membership eligibility to those who are 60 or older. The law also validates benefits previously given to people who were 55 to 60 years old when they applied for membership. This change helps ensure that elderly Non-Resident Keralaites can access pension benefits and welfare support after working for at least five years, regardless of their exact age when they joined the scheme.
