A CASUAL VISIT TO CORPORATION BANK

PALAYAMKOTTAI, TIRUNELVELI WAS

HELPFUL TO A WIDOW.

One of our friends, a learned retired JWO of IAF Shri Arumugam, requested our Trust to visit the local Corporation Bank and help to calculate the revised pension and arrears.

There were only 13 defense pensioners in that Branch. The Bank branch had not received any circular to revise the pension so far. On verification of the PPOs, we found one JWO’s wife was being paid SGT’s family pension and also to our surprise, the bank was recovering the commuted amount of the deceased pensioner (Ex.JWO LKR Kannan) from the pension of the same family pensioner.

In spite of a clear letter from the AFRO on the subject, the Bank continued recovery in the pension for the past 28 months. After explaining error authoritatively to the Bank, correct pension was restored to the widow. The Trust had arranged the arrear payment of Rs.53,743 to the widow.

Particulars of the family pensioner:-

Smt.Indira Kannan, W/O (Late) JWO LKR Kannan (S.No.680353 GP X)

Died on 16.2.2008. PPO No.08/14/B/Corr/09802/2003.

Corporation Bank, Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli 627 002s. SB A/c No.13396.

Note: The Widow had made complaints to the Bank earlier. But the bank ignored it. Even now, the widow did not approach us, it is the Exwel Trust, which noted her address from the bank, contacted and got the payment
