Ensuring socioeconomic security for India's women
Hindustan Times West UP|January 01, 2025
The year 2024 will be remembered as a turning point in India's pension landscape, where the Union government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, took bold steps to address gender inequities in social security.
Jitendra Singh

Imagine a world where women, who have long been the backbone of any community, finally receive the recognition and support they deserve.

This is the story of how India is reshaping its pension system to empower women and ensure their financial independence.

Take this real-life instance. A female government servant, let's call her Meera, has dedicated her life to public service. In the past, if something were to happen to her, the family pension would automatically go to her spouse, leaving her children dependent on their father's goodwill. But 2024 changed everything. Now, Meera can nominate her children as family pension recipients, ensuring their financial security regardless of her marital status. This reform is like handing Meera the keys to her own financial future, allowing her to steer through life's uncertainties with confidence.

The new pension rules also address complex marital scenarios. For instance, in case of divorce or domestic violence, women like Meera no longer have to worry about their financial stability being tied to their spouse. This change is akin to breaking free from the chains of dependency, giving women the freedom to make decisions that are best for them and their children.
