TGHRC Asks NIMS Director to Release Pension Benefits in 3 Weeks

Telangana Human Rights Commission (TGHRC) headed by its chairperson Dr. Justice Shameem Akther has strongly expressed displeasure over the delay of nearly 12 years in releasing pensionary benefits to Dr. Mantha Srinivas, retired Professor of Anaesthesiology, NIMS, Hyderabad. 

The Commission noted that Dr. Srinivas took VRS on November 13, 2014 and that despite government orders issued in October 2023 for release of his pensionary benefits, his legitimate dues remained



unpaid.

The Commission observed that pension is a valuable right earned through service and is intended to provide financial security and dignity in old age, and condemned the callous approach of the NIMS authorities in keeping the matter pending for such a prolonged period. 

The Commission has recommended to the Director, NIMS, to personally attend to the matter and ensure release of the entire pensionary benefits within three weeks from receipt of the order, and to submit a compliance report.
