GOOD NEWS FOR FAMILY PENSIONER- ENHANCED RATE.



                                      widow pensioners.

The Enhanced rate of ordinary family pension for the widows of Pre- 2006 retirees ,  died after 1-1-2006,  as per VI th Pay commission was not on Parity with V th Pay Commission so far. , that is,  50% of emolument or the pension of the deceased which ever is less.

The instructions , circulars and the provision  was to calculate/ consolidate  the Enhanced Rate as per original PPO:

Illustration:
A Naik,   Group- D, 17.5 yrs of service , discharged on 1-6-1992  ,
 DOB: 21-5-1955-------    Pension sanctioned – Rs.450.    His DOB-21-5-1955.
He died in 24-11-2010.
As per the original PPO , the Enhanced Rate of family pension= 450

As per the existing order, this rate is to be consolidated as per CDA cir 397.
i.e=  Rs.450  consolidated as rs.1396 as on 1-1-1996 and the same was consolidated as 1396 / 2094 = 3500 as on 1-1-2006.
This is the rate of Enhanced rate for a period of 7 yrs  . and she is being paid as such.  It is  not less than 30% of the minimum emolument  i.e
5200+2000+2000= 9200 X 30%= 2880.    So,  it is stepped up to 3500/-It is as good as normal family pension and not a Enhanced rate.

All the ESM organizations were keep on representing this anomaly  in various platforms for a long time.  This was agreed by Government and  order was issued for 50% of emolument for Civilian  pensioners.

Now it is extended to Defence services also.  It is a good news .
As per CDA cir 494 dated 19-3-2013, the 50% formula is applied to pre-2006 retiree but on minimum of pay band.

Illustration:    For the same above example:

Nk- Gp- D     17.5 yrs     died in 24-11-2010------
Emolument= 5200+2400+2000= 9600           
50% of this will be  the rate of Enhanced family pension
i.e ….9600 X 50%= 4800  this will the ERFP  w.e.f  25-11-2010  in this particular case. And it is up to
 23-9-2012 only.
Form 24-9-2012 as per  CDA cir 502,Table-1,  it is further revised as 5671.

The affected Families may approach your PDA for effecting the change.

Veterans are requested to help the affected families in your areas.
