The new proposal seeks to revive support for senior pilots through a separate monthly assistance scheme.\u201cWe were informed that the scheme would start from Aug 1, but no notification has been issued so far, and application forms have also not been released,\u201d he said.\u201cMany pilots continue working well into their 50s and 60s, sometimes even their 70s because they have no other source of income,\u201d he added.The association has urged govt to expedite the notification and operationalise the scheme without further delay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Panaji: Despite chief minister Pramod Sawant\u2019s announcement last month of a Rs 2,000 monthly pension for motorcycle taxi&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[177],"tags":[262038,262042,262034,262045,262044,79,262043,18,262041,27919,262050,262047,19,262049,17,262036,262035,110966,262039,234,235,262032,262037,262046,262048,246284,262033,262040],"class_list":["post-620678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-000-monthly-pension-scheme","tag-50-to-60-years-age-group","tag-all-goa-yellow-and-black-motorcycle-pilots-association","tag-application-forms-release","tag-aug-1-implementation","tag-business","tag-dayanand-social-security-scheme","tag-eire","tag-financial-assistance-for-ageing-pilots","tag-goa","tag-goa-government-welfare-scheme","tag-government-notification-delay","tag-ie","tag-income-support-for-pilots","tag-ireland","tag-motorcycle-taxi-pilots","tag-motorcycle-taxi-riders","tag-panaji","tag-pension-scheme-notification","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance","tag-pramod-sawant","tag-rs-2","tag-scheme-discontinued-in-2017","tag-senior-motorcycle-pilots","tag-social-security-schemes","tag-suresh-thakur","tag-welfare-initiative"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
