ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT BY OUR TRUST.

EX.SEP .D.JOSEPH 144142 - 90 YEARS OLD -IN OUR TRUST OFFICE

ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT BY OUR TRUST ON ADDITIONAL PENSIONER WITH DISABILITY

Ex.Sep.144142, D.Joseph is drawing his defence through I O B, Kalakad branch, Tirunelveli Dist, Tamil Nadu. During our routine visits and interactions , we noticed that the subject ESM was sanctioned with 50% Disability element for life and his date of birth was 10-9-1920 and his total service was only 2 years. Hence, he was eligible for minimum pension and an additional pension of 30% w.e.f 1-1-2006, as he has completed 85 years of age. Of late , we had clarified from CDA, Allahabad that the Disability Element can be added to the Service element for calculation of Additional pension. We opine that this ESM is the first one to get this benefit .
He was being paid pension as under :
Basic pension…………….. 3500.00
Disability Ele. 50%........ 775.00
DA on 4275.@ 27%...... 1155.00
Adhog-Exg……………….. 25.00
F M A……………………….. 100.00.
Total…………. 5555.00

Now as per the latest clarification he is eligible for a monthly pension as follows :
Basic pension……………………… 3500.00
Disability Element @ 50%....... 1755.00
Additional pension of
30% on (3500+1755) 5255……. 1577.00
6832.00
DA @ 35 %w.e.f 1-1-2010…….. 2392.00
F M A……………………………………. 100.00
Total pension…………… .9324. 00

We can now find the difference in his monthly pension. We have calculated the arrears payable to the ESM with effect from 1-1-2006 amounting to Rs.147540/-.

The fact was explained to the branch manager, and he was convinced with our submission and agreed to revise the pension and pay the arrears early. It is a special achievement in our efforts in helping the ESMs.
