Additional pension is calculated on Basic pension.

 Disability/ war injury pension is also eligible for Additional pension.( BP + DE/WI)

The pension.

For example:   One Subedar-  Y –Group-  28 yrs of service   D.O.B- 1-1-1929.

He has completed 80 yrs on 1-1-2009   as on date he is  2013-1929= 84 yrs .

He is eligible for 20% of additional pension.

He is sanctioned with 30% of disability also :   His basic pension – 11970/-

                 B.p………….11970.00

DE 30% ( 4300X30%)  1290.00

                                     13260.00

Additional pen 20%...  2652.00   (  on BP+DE X 20%)

Total basic will be…..15912.00

DA @ 80%.................12730.00  ( DA on BP + DE + Addl Pen)

Net pension ,,,,,,,,,,,,  28642.00

Minus commutation….if any..

This is how the additional pension is calculated.

Note:  To find out the correct age:

If the DOB is mentioned in the PPO / Discharge book , then it is OK.

Some time only the age will be mentioned  like age on discharge 47 yrs.

Date of discharge.   Say………31-12-1976.

Age on discharge…………………………….  47

 Supposed to be born in   76-47..     =29  So the year of birth may taken as 1929.      As there is no exact date available we have to take the date as the first day of the next year, I this case it is  1-1-1930.

This Sub. Has completed 80 years on   1930+80= 2010  , hence eligible for 20% additional pension from 1-1-2010.

This is how the DOB is calculated.

Suppose there is no DOB or age is mentioned in any of the documents, then the pensioner has to submit any one of the Six documents for age proof:

1.  Pan Card,     2. Marticulation Certificae        3. Pass port

4. Driving License  ( if contains DOB)  5. Electoral ID     6. ECHS/ CGHS card.

Pensioner has to submit any one of them - 4 copies to PDA. They  will send the same to respected Record office for further action.

Suppose the pensioner is drawing two pension, and in one of the PPOs , the DOB is available , the same may be produced for proof .
