Our Trust
members made a visit to the residence of one Shaurya Chakra Gallantry award
recipient .
To our
knowledge, this is the only person in receipt of Shaurya Chakra living in our Area.
Name:
C.Ramamoorthy Rank: Executive
Engineer –(Civil)
No:
Ex.GO-583 N - GREF. Discharged in November 1985.
On going through his pension and other papers, we noticed
that he was a Recipient of Shaurya Chakra Gallantry award. He was being paid the monetary allowance of un-revised rate of Rs.1500/- The Enhanced Rate is Rs.3000/- with effect from 31-3-2011 as per CDA circular 9 dated 30-3-2011.
We reported the discrepancy to the PDA, IOB Tirunelveli. The Manager was kind
enough to accept our finding and promised to revise allowance and pay the
arrears amounting to Rs.39000/-to the 77 yrs old Gallantry award winner at an early date..
Mr.C.Ramamoorthy and his wife were very happy and thanked us
for such a help that too on their door step. They also expressed their view
that but for the finding of this discrepancy by the Trust, this would have gone
unnoticed. The Trust members briefed other benefits available to a Gallantry award winner.
Our Trust is also happy in helping a Gallantry award winner..
Very well done and keep it up.We must insist on getting the system reverted back to PCDA(P) for all updations or changes in pensionary benefits. It is PCDA(P) which should be made responsible for all updations / changes / issue of fresh entitlements etc as they have
ReplyDeletequalified / experience staff' for such tasks rather than PDA / BANKS.
Thank you very much Sir for your appreciation.
ReplyDeleteThere are many who are getting less pension without knowing their entitlement. It is people like us go around and help them.
