The agenda of the meeting will be the rise in minimum pension under Employees' Pension Scheme or EPS wherein the minimum monthly pension can be increased from Rs 1,000 to Rs 9,000. Pensioners had been demanding this for quite sometime now and many rounds of discussions have already taken place. 

The decision on this will be taken keeping in mind the recommendations of the Standing Committee of Parliament. Two important issues are likely to be discussed in the meeting which includes implementation of the New Wage Code and minimum pension under under Employees' Pension Scheme.
