INJUSTICE TO A HAVILDAR - INCORRECT BASIC PENSION.



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.
