YET ANOTHER OCTOGENERIAN HELPED
On the request of Central bank of India , Kovilpatti, for assisting in the revision of pension as per CDA Cir 430, we noticed that one Subedar, D.T.Dhana Paul was discharged on 17-9-1968 after completion of 28 yrs of service . There was no date of birth but the age was mentioned as 18 yrs on enrolment. We obtained the address of the pensioner and contacted him. He was bed ridden , not able to move about. When going through his available documents we observed from the Voters Identity Card that his date of birth was 14-5-1923, therefore he had completed 80yrs of age on 14-5-2003 and was eligible for Additional pension of 20% from 1-1-2006 and 30% from 1-5-2008.
His Particulars are :

The fact was informed to the Senior Manager Mr. RG,Paul and he immediately accepted our findings and agreed to revise the pension and pay the arrears .

ReplyDeleteGetting additional pension and arrears to the tune of few thousands in the old age is not easy. The Exwel Trust volunteers are doing marvelous work. I pray for God to give them good health and long life.
