The President has issued instructions to pay the retirement gratuity to state employees as per the previous method.
It was recently proposed to pay the gratuity of state employees who were going on retirement according to two methodologies on the wishes of the employees concerned. That is to receive them through the department via the Pensions Department under the old system or to secure it through State Banks. However, representations were made from various parties not to implement the new system.
Considering these requests President Rajapaksa has instructed the Presidential Secretary that the retirement gratuity should be paid only through the Pensions Department and not to change the existing system.
