I agree to RAJ's point of view. In todays era where lucrative jobs are available, a government employee who has already served more than 15 years just can't leave his job lest he loses his pension. Government can either introduce a viable VRS Scheme or can give lien to all employees for 5 years wherein he can try a better job in private sector. During this lien period he may be given half his basic+DA as salary. After 5 years if he wishes to leave his government job, he becomes eligible for pensionary benefits(15+5 years) and in that way the government can get the vacant post abolished. Within a period of 5/6 years, about 25% of posts can be abolished. ALTERNATIVELY, an employee can join his earlier post after his lien is over in the same pay packet.
In this way, the government can save 2/3rd of salary outgo during lien period. And even if 10-15% opts for such lien, the government can save around 20000 cr in a period of five years. In the mean time, the government can restructure its workforce under its ambit.
And in order to get success, the VRS scheme should be a viable proposal. So should be LIEN conditions. AND WATCH FOR THE RESULT.
