YET ANOTHER WIDOW PENSIONER FOUND DRAWING SHORT PENSION AND HELPED BY OUR TRUST.

Smt.Arul Seeli Rani, W/O (Late) JWO Rajan.

During the visit of our Chief Admin Officer and Chief Liaison officer to Panagudi, Tirunelveli District, They came to know through casual interactions with local pensioners that a widow Smt.Arul Seeli Rani seem to be drawing short pension. Immediately we traced out the address from IOB, Panagudi branch and contacted her. On scrutinizing the available pension papers we noticed that she is wife of a Junior Warrant Officer of Air Force and was really receiving short pension.

Her particulars are :

Name : Smt.Arul seeli Rani W/O Late JWO.C,S.Rajan (207879) Gp-I

PPO.No.F/NA/2220/80

PDA : IOB Panagudi, Tirunelveli-Dist, Tamil Nadu.

SB A/c No.3633.

Eligible Basic pension as per Annexure –III of CDA Cir 403 isRs.5070/- but being paid Rs.3500/-

Arrears on account of this will be Rs.95000 plus

We have reported the discrepancy to the Bank manager and he has agreed to look in to the case and arrange to revise the pension and pay the arrears soon. Mean while we have also intimated the short payment to Air Force Record Office New Delhi and sought confirmation.

Dear veterans, you can just think of this sort of short payment every where and no veterans are coming forward to help such widow pensioners. At least guide them to approach us for helping them.
