MNS OFFICERS NEGLECTED

STEPMOTHERLY TREATMENT TO MNS OFFICERS

When the pension of regular officers Lt.Col and above ranks was revised 2 or three times and enhanced, the pension of MNS officers was not enhanced.

The Annexure-IIA and Annexure-IIA (Revised) is not at all beneficial.

For example, a Major ,21.5 yrs of service , discharged in 2003 was sanctioned with pension of Rs.5333/- The same was revised as Rs.12054/ according to Annexure- I MOD letter dated11-112008, ( CDA Cir 397)

But as per Annexure-IIA it is only..10792 and as per Annexure-IIA (revised) , it is 11012/-( Cir 449)

Same way: One Lt.Col, 24 yrs of service, Discharged in 2004 was sanctioned with 6164/- and was revised as per CDA Cir 397, Annexure-I as Rs.13932/-

But as per Annexure-IIA it is … 11600/- and as per Annexure-IIA (Revised) CDA Cir 449 it is 11978/-

In both the cases, the revision as per Cir 397, annexure-I is beneficial . If this is the case, the Annexures IIA and IIA(revised) are of no use.

The MOD and the CGDA may take some corrective measures in this regard.

Our major Associations also are REQUESTED to find a way to overcome these anomaly thereby addressing the grievance of MNS officers.

'ALAS' FATE OF EX-GRATIA PENSIONERS.

IMAGE -EX-GRATIA PENSIONER

The VI th Pay commission has totally forgotten the Ex-Gratia pensioners.
Their meager pension of 600+300 +DA is not revised so far.

Now,few of them have completed 80 years of age and the Additional pension
as per the VIth Pay commission is also denied to them.

It is a pitiable situation for this category of pensioners for no fault of them.

Even the meagre amount of pension is not correctly paid by many bank branches.The latest DA rate is not revised as per GOI letter.F.No.42/18/2010-P & PW (G) dated 27-10-2010 w.e.f 1-7-2010. DA rate for Pensioner..103% and for Widows 95 %
The correct pension from 1-7-2010 will be as follows:
For Pensioners
Basic......................600.00

DP......................... 300.00

--------- --------------- -
900.00
DA at 103%..... . 927.00
----------
Monthly pen... .. 1827.00
------------------------------

For Widow pensioners :
Basic .................... 605.00
DP........................ 303.00
---------- --------
908.00
DA at 95%............ 863.00
--------- ---------
Monthly pension..1771.00
----------------------------

We, the Ex-Servicemen Welfare Trust sincerely appeal to the MOD. CGDA and the Major Ex-Servicemen organizations like IESL, IESM and the Air Force Associations to view their case sympathetically as most of them are at the fag end of their life. There are only very few are alive and can be considered.
