A Telangana rights panel has directed the National Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) to release pension benefits to a retired professor who has waited 12 years, giving the institute a 3‑week deadline.
A retired professor from Telangana has been waiting for his pension for 12 years, a delay that has drawn attention to the administrative lapses in the state’s pension system. The case came to light after the professor filed a complaint with the Telangana Rights Panel, which oversees the enforcement of citizens’ rights across the state.
In a recent ruling, the panel directed the National Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) to disburse the pending pension within three weeks. The decision was based on the panel’s findings that NIMS had failed to process the pension application in a timely manner, violating the state’s pension regulations.
NIMS, a prominent medical institute located in Hyderabad, has been asked to comply with the panel’s directive and to ensure that the pension is paid without further delay. The institute has acknowledged the directive and has promised to expedite the payment.
The ruling is expected to set a precedent for other pension recipients facing similar delays and underscores the Telangana government’s commitment to upholding citizens’ rights. It also highlights the need for improved administrative efficiency in the state’s pension disbursement mechanisms.
