INDIFFERENT ATTITUDE OF BANK OFFICIALS TOWARDS DEFENCE PENSIONERS

Ex.Corporal SP.Lazarus , sitting in the centre while he visited our Trust some years back regarding his pension.

INDIFFERENT BEHAVIOUR OF INDIAN BANK OFFICIALS  WHILE OBTAINING LIFE CERTIFICATE.

One Ex.Air Force , War wounded Pensioner , immobile  went to the Emperror Street, Turicorin  branch of Indian bank , Tuticorin  by Auto Riksha for personnel appearance.( Life Certificate) on 27-11-2012 Accompanied by his wife.

Name : A.Lazarus      Ex.Air Force Corporal, Defence pensioner. Ser.No: 228169

PPO.No:    D/BC/CORR/0482/2012          

SB A/c No: 409372884

As he is sick, not able to walk, sign, requested the Bank officials to make the Life certificate for this year Nov.2012.

The bank officials not heeding to the request of the pensioner , told him to obtain a Doctors certificate for not able to sign.

The Life certificate is a PERSONNEL APPEARANCE, THE BANK OFFICIALS  SHOULD CONFIRM THAT THE PENSIONER IS ALIVE ON THAT DAY.”

The war wounded soldier went back in search of a Doctor, obtained a certificate  and submitted to the bank. Thus making the pensioner to incur unnecessary expenses towards Auto charge and doctors fees.

The bank officials should have avoided by taking a Thumb Impression from the pensioner  with humanitarian ground.

Instead., the war wounded soldier was made to suffer with mental agony for submission of Life Certificate  / Personnel appearance.

This is a very bad show/ indifferent attitude towards an aged/ wounded / invalided  soldier

The particular official  should be instructed to treat the pensioners with human touch to keep up the reputation of a large Nationalised Bank.

We, as an Ex-Servicemen  Welfare Trust  was constrained to bring this happening to Public to avoid such occurrence in future.

GREAT INJUSTICE METED OUT TO A TS.NK.

GREAT INJUSTICE TO ONE MORE WAR INJURED PENSIONER.

One Ex.Ts.Nk came to our Trust office and complained that he was not being paid the correct Rate of disability pension.

Name:Tirupathy Rajaram  Rank: Ts.Nk  No: 6462218    Qly.Ser.:15 yrs.

PPO.Nos: S/ 102256/1987 AND S/CORR/4263/2002.

PDA: Central Bank of india, Kovilpatti, Tuticorin –Dist, TN.

On going through the available papers, we noticed that he was wounded while on duty in Proximity to the enemy due to mine blast on 1-3-1980 and it was classified as Battle causality vide part II order  No.73/15/1982

We also came to know that his Right foot Below ankle was amputated and was using artificial limb.

In spite of all the above, he was sanctioned with normal Disability element of 50% as attributable to military service.

He is falling under Category  E of para 4.1 of GOI, MOD letter No. 1 (2)/97/ D (Pen-C) dated 31-1-2001. Hence eligible for a WAR injury pension but being sanctioned with normal disability pension.

 It is a great injustice meted out to a veteran.

The innocent veteran was not aware of his eligibility and drawing his normal disability that  too not properly being paid. Instead of 1755 , he was being paid 1404/-

We have now  taken up the matter with MRC Record office and PCDA for consideration.

The poor veteran  was very much pleased with our findings and action and expressed his sincere gratitude to our Welfare Trust for this timely help.

INJUSTICE METED OUT TO AIR FORCE I GROUP SERGEANTS.

INJUSTICE METED OUT TO AIR FORCE SERGEANTS.

During VIth Pay Commission, they have made 2 Tables , 111 and 112 of CDA cir 430  for Sergeants Group I and X,  Diploma holders and Non diploma holders, Pre 10-10-1997 and Post 10-10-1997.

As per Table 134/ 133 of Cir 430, the Rate of pension for Sergeant of

Pre-1953 is Rs.5810 with effect from 1-7-2009.

We feel that  there may  be very few  such Sergeants alive now, whereas the living large numbers of  post 1953 Sergeant are neglected..

The CDA cir 478 says  that all Pre-10-10-1997 pensioners are to be brought at par with Post 10-10-1997 PBOR. In such is the case , why there should be two Tables 111 and 112 .

All the Sergeants discharged after 10-10-1997  are fitted in Table no 112 even though they are not Diploma holders.

Group I / X Sgts  of 15 yrs of service are getting Rs.5519 as per Table No.111 and  5820 as per Table no.112.

CDA cir 471  tables give one  rate of  Pension only for the Rank of Sgt.X group.

This is a great in justice meted out to Sergeants of Pre=10-10-1997. This anomaly to be removed by fitting all the Sergeants in Table no.112.

Will the MOD , DESM Welfare look in to the grievances  and take action to redress  this anomaly.
