NEW YEAR GREETINGS

Dear Veteran brothers and families,  AND our readers,

OUR TRUST WISHES YOU ALL

        "  A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2016."

NON PAYMENT OF ARREARS TO PRE-2006 PENSIONERS -CIR 547.

The  CDA circulars 547,  548 and 549  were issued in the month of September 2015  for the payment of Arrears  to Pre-2006 retirees. About 4 months passed.

But large number of defence pensioners are still not received their arrears .

It is heard  that  some Banks have paid to few pensioners and some Banks are not aware of these circulars.  Some CPPCs have instructed their Branches to calculate and pay the arrears at their end. Some are on the job ,Some Branches are  telling   we do not know how to calculate 

This is the position  and the ultimate sufferers are the poor pensioners.

Our Welfare Trust has assisted some Banks  in this regard  and ready to extend help if the bank branches request us.

We give below some hinds  How to calculate the arrears. We hope the Banks  will take these points in the right spirit.. 

HINTS FOR CALCUATION OF ARREARS – PRE-2006 -
 RETIREES  -CIR 547/548/549.

1.       Take  the PPO.

2.     Find out rank,  Group,  Qualifying Service  and date of discharge.(Pre-1996  / 1-1-96 to 10-10-1997/ 10-10-1997 to 31-12-2005).

3.     Find out the Rate of pension as per Cir 430   and 547  according to the rank, group and  Qs, Date of discharge.

4.     Arrive the difference   547-430.     If the difference is  negative, no benefit.

5.     Multiply the difference  by 46.02 for PBOR.  ( 1-1-2006 to 30-6-2009 – 42 months)

6.     Multiply  the difference  by 103.65 for Hony. Officers,  Commissioned Officers and Family pensioners.  ( 1-1-2006 to 23-9-2012)

For Example:    Take  A Hav-  Gp-   y -  22 yrs.of servise;   Discharged in -1994

Pension as per cir 397/430=  4746

 As per Cir  547……………….. =5019   The difference =273 per month.

Arrears from 1-1-2006 to 30-6-2009 will be:  273 X 46.02=12564.

For  Hony.Capt:   16145-13850= 2295

Arrears ……………..2295 X 103.65= 23788

For Family  Hav. X /A  Gp-  4176-3500=676

Arrears:…………………..676 X 103.65=70068.

NOTE:  For Ts Nk,  Hony.Nk ,  Hony.Hav – See the Rate of Regular Naik/ Havildar in Cir 547 and reduce by Rs.1 and take the rate   and minus the rate of 430.

For Hony.Nb.Sub.     find our the Hav, Gp and Qs  of the Hony.Nb.Sub and arrive the rate at 547 and 430 and arrive the difference. (ref cir 549, para-2)

For DSC:

All the ranks of DSC-  Clerical Ranks  - refer tables of Y group  for the rank and group

All the ranks- Other than Clericals-    Refer Tables of Z group for the Rank and Groups.

RESEERVIST  AND LESS THAN 15 YRS OF SERVICE  NO Arrears.

Invalid pensioners-  i.e  PPO with  IP indication  - no arrears.

CAUTION: For Family pension-  find out the Rank, Group and Qualifying service of the pensioner and date of death, Type of FP- Normal, Enhanced, Special or Liberalised. first, then  go for calculation.(verify the present rate also).

At present only Normal family pension is considered:

Pensioner died before 1-1-2006 :For the period 1-1-2006 to 24-9-2012.
Died after 1-1-2006  then LTA .

Arrears amount=  Cir 547- cir 397.Family pension Chart.

HAPPY NEWS FOR PRE-2006 RETIREES.-FULL PENSION 50%

The Maximum service of 33 years for full pension is removed for Pre-2006 retirees also.

As per 6th Pay commission, this condition was applied to Post 2006 retirees.

Now, Punjab and Haryana High court has given the verdict to this effect.

Hence, those who have put up 15 years of qualifying service are eligible for full pension. That is 50% of their emolument as pension  and no more Prorata. 

Good news PMR Cases. 
Pb and H High Court quashed proportional pension Rule for pre 2006 PMRs.  Judgement Case No, 
CWP-3423-2014 and other connected cases -19- 

Extract..  Rules where the pensioner had less than the maximum service of
33 years required for full pension are quashed. It is directed that
the pay of the petitioners who have retired before 01.01.2006 be
brought corresponding to the revised pay scale as per the 6th
Central Pay Commission and then it be ensured that pension
fixed is such that it is not lower than 50% of the minimum of the
pay in the pay band and the grade pay thereon. The respondents
are directed to refix the pension of the petitioners accordingly
and pay the arrears of pension within a period of two months.
