The Aggrieved veteran expressing his sincere thanks to our Liaison Officer Sgt.S.kanthiah for the help extended by the Trust.
Here IS A CASE OF
ERROR IN THE PPO/ CONTROVERY IN THE RATE OF PENSION-QUALIFYING SERVICE
Name: T.Anaintha perumal -Reg.No; 1430828.Rank: Havildar.
.Group- D , Qualifying service 15yrs,
10months and 19 days was discharged
on 31-8-1987….with pension and drawing his pension through Indian bank, Tirunelveli-Dist.TN.
Now he has received the Revised PPO issued by PCDA Allahabad ,dated 11-10-2014 noting the rate of pension
as on 1-1-96, 1-1-2006 and 24-9-2012.. ( 3500,
4635 and 5301 ).
On going through
the Discharge certificate and the original PPO of the veteran, it is confirmed
that his qualifying service was 15yrs-10months and 19 days. Rank Hav,
Group-D. So the QS to be taken as 16
yrs. But in the revised PPO, the Rates
of pension is notified for a QS
of 15 yrs only. That is 5301 w.e.f 24-9-2012,
Whereas per CDA cir 501, for a QS of 16 yrs it is Rs.5531, Short of 230 per month .
“ALAS” when we went through the Bank pass book
entries, he was paid a total pension of
Rs.10724/ for the month of August 2014.
A basic pension of 5362+DA100% 5362= 10724.
When we checked up
with the Cir 501, it was noticed with
great surprise that this Rate is for the
rank of Naik, Gp-D, QS-16yrs.
We fail to understand How these
errors do take place / happening,
We feel that the
Bank has revised the pension of their own way.
And
The PCDA has
revised for only 15 yrs QS. taking it granted that nobody will question them.
And the poor
veteran is drawing the pension in good
faith , thinking that the Bank as well
as the CDA are giving his correct Rate of pension.
We do not know how
many such cases are in the store.
It is a case
to be taken for the cause ERROR
at CDA/PDA. How this Error has happened . The printed PPO comes out after Auditing at
CDA and the Record office simply forward it to the pensioner without noticing/
checking any kind of error in the PPO.
And the PDA/CPPC has revised the
pension on their own and the Pensioner was happy
because there was some increment
in his pension.
This is what
happening.
Now as per the PPO, the rate is fixed as
Rs.5301/- but being paid at the Rate of 5362/ hence excess
payment and Recovery to be made
for no mistake of pensioner. Actually it is not so.
Now we
understand from the veteran that the PDA
has since recovered the excess amount paid i.e 5362-5301 from 24-9-2012
.
It is a great injustice to the veteran.
We have taken up the case to Record Office and CDA Allahabad and also to our Army Veteran Cell to set right the mistake.
All the ESM
organizations and the pensioner are requested
to go through the revised PPO and compare with CDA circulars 501, 502
and 503 for correctness. If there
is any variation, it is to be brought to knowledge of their Record Offices and
CDA for correction.
