YET ANOTHER OCTOGENERIAN (90YEARS ) TRACED OUT AND HELPED BY OUR TRUST.

Sgt.S.Kanthiah (Retd) , Chief Liaison Officer is seated along with Hony.Captain
Arthur Paul Francis and his daughter -in -law and grand son at his residence .
















Our Chief Admin.Officer Hony.Lt.MP.Natarajan(Retd) converising with Hony.Captain Aurthur Paul Francis recollecting his olden days military lservice.
In our persistence efforts and visits to various Bank branches and interactions with pensioners,
Our Chief Liaison officer S.Kanthiah noticed one Hony.Captain receiving un-revised pension and
Also not getting Additional pension. When approached the PDA, they were not aware of this. After obtaining the address of the pensioner, our Chief Admin.Officer Hony.Lt. MP.Natarajan (Retd) and Chief Liaison Officer Sgt.S.Kanthiah ( Retd) made an extensive search of the address. As the address given was given way back to 1968, it took a few days to trace out the correct location.

We contacted the aged Captain , bedridden, but happy to receive us with joy . On scrutinizing his pension papers, we observed that his pension was not revised as per MOD letter dated 11-11-2008 , Annexure-III. And his date of birth as per Discharge book was 18 years on enrolment in 1938. We called for any other document for confirming as per CDA Cir.417. He produced the Election Commission Voters ID card where his age as on 1-1-95 is noted as 75 years. Hence he has completed his 80 years on 1-1-2000 itself and 85 yrs on 1-1-2005. So he is eligible for an additional pension of 30% w.e.f 1-1-2006 and 40% from 1-1-2010.

The aged Captain was delighted to hear all this benefits and particularly his Daughter-in-Law who is looking after him was happy as her father-in Law is getting a hand sump amount during his life time. Our Trust members were chatting with him for more than an hour recalling his Military life . His particulars :

Name : HONY.Capt. ARTHUR PAUL FRANCIS -JC 46412 Record office- MEG Bangalore.
PPO.No. PDA: Indian Bank, Tirunelveli-Junction, Tirunelveli-Dist, TN.
Existing Basic pension- 12262/- Revised Basic Pension-13850/-
Additional pension 30%...4155/- w.e.f 1-1-2006
40 %..7540/- w.e.f 1-1-2010
Arrears worked out w.e.f 1-1-2006 ..Rs. 95920.00

This is a great achievement for our EXWEL TRUST and we march forward in search of such veterans/ family pensioners.

But for our efforts the aged Captain would not have received this benefits.

Once again we appeal to all veteran brethrens to find out such aged pensioners/ family pensioners not knowing their entitlement and getting short payment and try to help them or direct them to approach us for guidance.

  1. Dear Sir,

    It is indeed a good job done for the elderly
    pensioners. Aged people really need such help. I don't find any other organisation is doing such help to the aged pensioners. Please keep up your spirit. God bless you all.

    Thank you,
    Yours sincerely,
    C.Muthukrishnan
