Vacate govt bungalow, pay Rs 46L dues, activist tells former Maharashtra minister Munde
Mumbai: Social activist Anjali Damania on Wednesday demanded that former Maharashtra minister and NCP MLA Dhananjay Munde vacate his official bungalow in Mumbai within 48 hours and claimed he owes Rs 46 lakh to the state government for using the residence. Damania warned if Munde fails to vacate the bungalow, 'Satpuda', and pay Rs 46 lakh in pending dues, she will send a legal notice to the state government. "Munde had claimed earlier that he did not own a house in Mumbai, but his 2024 election affidavit mentions a flat at Girgaum Chowpatty which is currently not in use. It is, therefore, wrong for him to continue occupying the official bungalow. He should also pay the full rent amount of Rs 46 lakh," she told reporters here.

Munde's resignation in early March came in the backdrop of the arrest of his key aide in connection with the chilling murder of a village sarpanch in Beed district in December. Munde had previously said he could not leave the bungalow as he did not have another place to stay in Mumbai. However, Damania pointed out that the NCP leader's 2024 election affidavit referred to a flat in a building named 'Virbhavan', measuring 2,151 square feet, which appeared to be a four-bedroom apartment. The activist argued that as per law, Munde must vacate the government bungalow immediately as he is no longer a cabinet minister. Damania said she would send a legal notice to the state government over the issue. If Munde failed to comply within 48 hours, she said she would question the government's inaction and press for recovery of the dues along with his eviction from the bungalow. Sources close to the former state minister maintained that his current home in Mumbai is under renovation and hence he has requested the government to allow him to stay in the official bungalow till the work is completed.

It went through many changes ever since and got its present form post independence in 1947. The striking change was when the retirement age was increased from 58 to 60. The scheme provides a defined pension at retirement. It also has the features of pension commutation and family scheme was discontinued by the central government in January 2004 and replaced with New Pension System (NPS). However, many states still follow Old Pension Scheme (OPS).NPS replaced OPS for central government employees on January 1, 2004. It is a defined contribution system where employees get market-linked returns. Unlike OPS, it doesn't provide a defined pension. Central government employees can open a Tier I NPS account. At 60 years of age, they can withdraw up to 60 per cent of their corpus as a lump sum amount. From the remaining amount, they need to purchase an annuity plan, which provides them a monthly pension.
