Good News for Pre-2006 Pensioners (Veterans): Veteran Prabhjot Singh Chhatwal PLS Retd.

Dear Veterans,

Regards. There is a good news for pre-2006 pensioners (Veterans) ahead.

As per my personal discussion with Sh. Harbans Singh,Director Pension, Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare, Ministry of Defence, the Committee(constituted on the instructions from Prime Minister),has submitted its report to Ministry of Defence and orders relating to Modified Parity in Pension for Pre-2006 Defence Pensioner are likely to be issued soon. But he was not committed to give any information about the date of issuance of notification.

Pre- 2006 Pensioners are also likely to get disability pension on percentage basis like Post- 2006 Pensioners. Pre-2006 Hony. N/Subs are also going to get pension of regular N/Subs. like Post-2006 Hony.N/Subs. We should be very clear about the fact that no Govt. can afford to grant One Rank One Pension as was demanded in joint Memorandum submitted by a group of organizations on 14th Oct. 2009.

Have a Good day and move forward to a Grand New Year '2010'.

AN ENCOURAGING COMMENT FROM DISTANT CONTINENT

gentle said... Dear Veteran Brothers,

You are indeed a great asset to not only the ex-servicemen & their families but also to the rest of the society as the torch bearers to serve the needy amongst us all who deserve the kind of attention given by an exemplary method of service to others without any motive of rewards or recognition in a selfless manner.
I only wish that others should emulate you & serve to fulfill the needs of those who deserve it the most.

EXWEL volunteers like the veterans , Mr Kandiah & Mr Natrajan deserve to be praised/ recognized by all of us & I do feel proud of these Veterans role in helping the Ex-servicemen & their families.

May God bless them with good health & prosperity to continue their mission of service.

With warm regards & best wishes,

FREE MEDICAL CAMP ORGANISED BY OUR EXWEL TRUST

A free medical camp was organized by our Exwel Trust in coordination with Shifa Hospital Tirunelveli. The Managing Director of Shifa Hospital was kind enough to depute a team consisting of Three famous Specialist Doctors and para medical staffs to examine the patients. Out of 350 non-pensioners ESM , about 200 attended the camp. They were thoroughly examined by the Specialist for eyes, Diabetics and General ailments.
Mr.Mohemed Shafi, the Managing director of Shifa Hospital and Col.Victor (Retd), Officer in Charge of ECHS Polyclinic Tirnelveli were kind enough to Grace the function by providing Medical Team and Medicines for the Camp.
Dr.Murugan , Eye specialist , after a through check up , identified 22 patients for Cataract problem. Out of the 22, 8 were requiring immediate Cataract surgery. Our Trust made all the arrangement for their operation by admitting them on the same day at Shifa Hospital and were operated successfully on 26-07-2009. The other patients were supplied with required medicines.
Dr.Arunagiri, Diabetics Specialist examined the about 70 patients while Dr.Deep Amnand , General physician examined the patients for general ailments and all the patients were supplied with free medicines as per Doctors prescriptions.
The camp achieved the expected response from the Non=pensioners ,particularly the aged widows to a great extend and such camps are the ongoing welfare activities of our Trust.

YET ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT BY OUR TRUST

Smt.Velammal M/O Late Recruit Mariappan (6489697) was sanctioned with Special Family Pension after the death of her son vide PPO No.F/ 871/ 97.



THE MANAGING TRUSTEE SGT R CHELLAPPA (Retd) handing over the relevant calculation sheet> Sgt S Kandhiah (Retd) Cheif liaison Officer looks on.


She was being paid with Normal family pension from the date of sanction instead of Special family pension. Her pension was revised as 1275/ 3500 instead of 2550/ 7000 as per VI th Pay commission. Our Chief Liaison officer Sgt.S.Kanthiah ( Retd) noticed the same during our special interaction with pensioners at Shenkottai. He ,after careful scrutiny of the case, informed the same to the Bank Officials (PDA), but they were not satisfied with his submission and were not prepared to correct the eligible rate of pension. Then we were constrained to take up the case to the concerned Army Record Office, ASC (AT) at Gaya explaining the present payment details with DUE /DRAWN statement. The Record Office was prompt in responding our representation by confirming the correctness of our working sheet. They instructed the PDA to revise the correct Rate of Special Family Pension as per our calculation and pay the arrears immediately. The Bank also revised the Special Family pension and paid the Arrears to the poor widow amounting to Rs.393527/- on 30-11-2009 as per our calculation. Our Trust is proud of scoring one more goal to our untiring efforts. This is another feather in our Cap. We opine that there are still many more such poor widows at large all over the country are made to suffer silently. We hope that authorities concerned will evolve some system to mitigate the sufferings of such pensioners.
