Middle class in focus, says govt; highlights gains from pensions, tax relief, smart city push
New Delhi: The Centre's policies aim to better equip middle-income families to face the future with confidence, an official statement said, highlighting the policy attention this segment will receive over the next four years. The statement, marking the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government's completion of the first year of its third term in office, also noted that 2.3 million central government employees will benefit from the new unified pension scheme (UPS) launched in April this year, which is a hybrid of contributory and assured models. The statement titled, 'the middle class story', discussed various measures implemented so far by the NDA government in taxation, pension, inflation reduction and connectivity. It said this segment of the population plays a vital role in India's growth story. UPS, which assures an employee a pension of 50% of the average basic pay drawn in the last one year before retirement, is open to those with at least 25 years of experience. For those with shorter service tenure, pension will be computed proportionately, with a minimum qualifying period of 10 years. They will get a minimum assured pension of ₹ 10,000 a month on retirement. If an employee passes away, then his family will receive 60% of the assured pension, the statement clarified. It is expected to benefit around 2.3 million central government employees, the statement said, adding that several state governments have also adopted this model, extending its coverage to over nine million individuals currently under the National Pension System. The statement also said the income tax relief announced in the Union budget for FY26 will benefit crores of salaried citizens. The budget had announced that individuals earning up to ₹ 12 lakh annually will now pay no income tax, except on special incomes like capital gains. With the standard deduction of ₹ 75,000, even those earning ₹ 12.75 lakh will pay no tax, the statement said. 'It shows a deep understanding of middle-class needs and comes despite the government giving up nearly ₹ 1 lakh crore in revenue,' the statement said. On the smart cities mission, the government said the plan, rolled out in 2015, saw 93% of the 7,545 approved projects completed by 2025, with a total investment of over ₹ 1.51 trillion.

Bihar has turned into crime capital of India, alleges Rahul
'Bihar, once considered the land of peace and justice, has now turned into the crime capital of India,' the former Congress president asserted. Addressing the 'Samvidhan Suraksha Sammelan' in Nalanda's Rajgir, Gandhi also took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for 'remaining silent' on US President Donald Trump's claims of brokering peace between India and Pakistan during the military conflict. Rajgir (Bihar), Jun 6 (PTI) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday slammed the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government in Bihar over the law and order situation, alleging that the state has turned into 'the crime capital of India'. Gandhi also said he was apprehensive whether the Centre could properly conduct the caste census 'with no officers from the OBC, Dalit or tribal communities finalising the questionnaire'. 'I am fighting for the caste census to save the Constitution and for the overall betterment of the country… Wherever we form government in future, we will remove the 50 per cent cap on reservation. It will start from Bihar,' he said. On the military conflict between India and Pakistan, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha added: 'A call came from Trump and Narendra Modi ji immediately surrendered. Trump himself has said it (about brokering peace) publicly at least 11 times. But, the PM is silent over the issue. I know he has nothing to say on this.'
