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.
