ATTENTION VETERAN BROTHERS -SERIES- 16



 Dear veteran brothers,  please go through the series of changes in pension took place 
between 6th Pay commission and 7th Pay Commission.
But , still some of the anomalies of 6th Pay commission not yet addressed.
Mean time, 7 th Pay commission is notified. This is the fate.


CHAIN OF CHANGES IN THE  RATE OF PENSION OF VETERANS.
BETWEEN   6TH PAY COMMISSION AND 7TH  PAY COMMISSION.

Take an Example of Rank of a  Sgt.-  Group- X  QS: 15 yrs.

His Basic pension was Rs.1892  before VI th Pay Commission.

When the VI th PC was effected from 11-11-2008, as per CDA cir 397, Annexure- III, his pension was revised as  4015..
 It was calculated  on Minimum Pay band  + Gp + MSP + X-Gp Pay
i.e  Min. Scale was 5200-20200
Calculation  :   5200 + Gp-2800+Msp-2000+X-Gp  1400=  11400
Full pension = 11400/2- 5700      -    QS: 15 yrs  Weight age- 6 yrs.
For him it is=   5700 X (15+6)/33=3627.
But for the rank of LAC and Cpl, it worked out  to be 4015,
Hence for Sgt also it is taken as 4015----Ref Annexure- III of Cir 397….(1)

When this anomaly was informed, it was told to go for Consolidated method: Cir 403
i.e   … Existing  Basic………..1892.00
           50%   Merger……….       946.00
                                                   2838.00
   DA as on 1-1-06.24%.............  682.00
  40% of EP -1892X40%.............757.00
                          Total…………4277.00---Ref; CDA cir 397  Annex-I
As this was more beneficial, this 4277 was taken from 1-1-2006……..   (2)

Then  again, instead of Minmum pay Band, they have calculated on  Minmum in the Pay Band by
 using the Multifying Factor – 1.86.  from Scale SAFI IS OF 2008-    Which is=  4670-85-5945.
So, the calculation:     4670 X 1.86= 8690  +2800+2000+1400=14890
Full pension for 33 yrs= 14890/2=7445.00
For 15yrs……………………….= 7445X (15+6)/33= 4737
But for LAC  and CPL it worked out  as 4883,   hence for Sgt also
The same was stepped up…………………CDA cir  547…………….(3)

Then again, to bridge the gap of Pre and Post 2006, they calculated
the pension on Maximum scale  :    4670-85-5945
Max- 5945  X1.86= 11060 +2800+2000+1400= 17260
Full pension= 17260/2= 8630
For 15 yrs……………= 8630X (15+6)/33= 5492…..Cir 430  w.e.f 1-7-2009..(.4)
Here again, the pension of LAC worked out as 5519,
Hence, Sgt pension was stepped up to 5519 from 1-1-2009-   CDA cir 482…..(4)

Once again, to bridge the gap of Pre and Post 2006 retirees, the  weight age
 was increased by 2 yrs and the scale of Pay was taken  from Post 10-10-1997.
Scale was ; 5000-100-6500.and calculated on the Max.of scale-Cir  471.

The calculation: on Max-  6500 X 1.86= 12090  + 2800+2000+1400=18290
Full pension for 33 yrs=   18290/2=9145
For 15 yrs ……………………..   = 9145 X (15+8) /33= 6373………..(5)
This rate is as per CDA cir 501  with effect from    24-9-2012 

Then the latest OROP- Cir 555, Table-7
.The rate is 8585  w.e.f  01-07-2014…………………………………(6).

This many changes have taken place between  6TH Pay commission.
 And 7TH Pay commission   .

The same way for all the Ranks and Groups of all the Three Forces, Army
, Navy  and Air force., the changes have taken place.   

We are expecting one more change  as De-Linking of 33 years of service.

AND again  THE 7 TH PAY COMMISSION-RIVISION..

REVISION OF ENHANCED RATE OF FAMILY PENSION.



REVISION AND PAYMENT OF ARREARS  FOR ENHANCED RATE OF FAMILY PENSION IN LINE WITH CDA CIR547/548.



It was informed through CDA cir 494 to revise the affected Enhanced Rate of Family pensioners,  taking 50% of Minimum pay band + grade pay +MSP + X group Pay.
But what happened ?  No bank has revised the affected  cases.
For example : Take a case of Hav- Group-Y  QS; 20 yrs.
ERFP  :  Scale of Pay:  5200- 20200- GP;2800 MSP:2000 Total=10000
             ERFP is 50% of this=   5000   See Table No-1 of CDA cir 494. OK.
This is effective from 1-1-2006.  Those who were drawing ERFP as on 1-1-2006
are eligible for this amount but they were paid  3500 only……………….(1)
Like wise for all the Ranks in all the 3 Sevices.

Now after series of representations from all the corners, MOD has issued an order
No: 1(14)/2012-D(Pen/Pol) , GOI, MOD dated 14-6-2016.
To revise the ERFP as per   Pay in the Pay Band -the Minimum Fitment Table and CDA cir 503 With effect from 24-9-2012. And now they say that the effective Date is from 1-1-2006 instead of 24-9-2012.

Now the revision for the above example will be:
ERFP as per  cir 503  for Hav- Y- 20Yrs of service…..: 6453.00 w.ef. 24-9-2012
But was paid  as per cir 494 (if it was revised)………..  5000.00  w.e.f 1-1-2006
                                               The difference……               1453.00per month.
Arrears  from 1-1-2006 to 23-9-2012……..1453 x 103.65= 150603/-
(if the widow was drawing ERFP for this period )
If less period, we have to calculate accordingly.
Suppose, she was being paid only 3500 instead of 5000, then the arrears will be 6453-3500=2953   and 2953 X103.65= 306078.

If nobody has noticed this, the families will be looser by this arrears.

Dear veteran brothers, please find out the affected widows in your areas  and help them to get their entitled arrears. This will be a noble service.

Exwel Trust hi-tech pension meeting at Tirunelveli

THE IMPORTANCE OF CDA CIRCULAR 560 DATED 08.06.2016.
(HOW TO GET ARREARS OF CDA CIR.560 ?)

These Orders are applicable to all Pre-2006 Armed Forces Officer,

It means whatever rates are being paid from 24.9.2012 has to be extended from 1.1.2006 and arrears paid for the period from 1.1.2006 to 23.9.2012.

It is more than one month passed.  Banks are silent on this circular.  Considering the hardships, AND AGE OF THESE CATEGORY OF PENSIONERS,  the EXWEL TRUST  had taken up the Task of developing a SPECIAL  SOFTWARE FOR  ON LINE  CALCULATION OF ARREARS OF SPECIAL FAMILY PENSION  for the period from 1.1.2006 to 23.9.2012 IN THE  www.exweltrust.in website.  It is very simple to use and get a print out with the accurate arrear calculation.

If you feed all the information correctly, you will get a arrear calculation print for forwarding it to your Bank’s CPPC for immediate payment.

Please visit our website www.exweltrust.in and help all the special family pensioners to get their arrears in time.  ALL THE EX-SERVIEMEN WELFARE ASSOCIATIONS ARE REQUESTED TO MAKE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE FOR CALCULATION OF ARREARS EASILY AND HELP THE PENSIONERS.  YOU CAN EVEN TAKE THE PRINT OUT FROM A BROWSING CENTRE.

The Exwel Trust will be launching other arrears calculation such as Disability Pension, War Injury Pension, Liberalised Family pension etc. etc. in short time.

At present the SFP arrears calculation is under Testing mode FOR  JCOs/Ors families.  In a few days, it will be ready for Officers families.

  among serving personnel.

2.MSP for JCOs & Ors  -5200  ( 2000X2.57)
         For Hony & Comm.officers-15500

3. Hav / PO/  Sgts  are highly skilled Technician, hence, Demanded for
    Grade Pay  2800 to 4200  but not accepted.

4. X group Pay for Diploma Holders: - 6200  and
     Non Diploma holders of X group-    3600   (1400X2.57)

6. Demand for adding  Disability  / War injury element  with family pension
    Not  considered.

7. Demand  for Pension at  75% of emolument not accepted. Only the existing 50% .accepted.

8. Pension of Hony,Nb.Sub  to be equated with Regular Nb.Sub-  Not accepted.

9. Broad Banding of DE / WIE for all category – Invalided out, Boarded out  and   released/ discharged and  on completion of terms and condition-   Agreed.

10. Demand for pension after 10 yrs service instead of 15 yrs. in DSC - not    agreed.


11. Calculation  of DE  and WIE  is switched over to Slab system from percentage method.  
 For Example: Disability  Rates:

      Sepoy to Hav…………..12000
      JCOs……………..          17000
      Hony& Comm Offrs…..  27000

12. Matrix-  Option   I      with increments

      Matrix-  Option II       with MF…..2.57.

For Example:  At Entry level 5  i.e at starting: -15 yrs of service.
For a Rank of Hav/ PO/ SGT-  -- Grade Pay-2800- Group-X
As per Matrix Table-     Starting  Pay……29200-   Option- I
Plus increment- which is to be added
                Military Service pay…………     5200
       X-Group pay for  X group only……     3600
                                      Total pay……..     38000
                                   Pension at 50%.........19000  .
                This may be the basic pension    from 1-1-2016  + DA
At present   8585 +10732=19317
( with the hope  the OROP rate is taken)

But if you calculate as per Matrix system; Option- II
       8585 X 2.57=22063  This is the Basic pension.
So, the option II will be beneficial now.

Dear Veteran brothers, there may be changes  in our calculation later
after the actual  Orders/Circulars are issued..

These points are taken from main report of 900 pages before cabinet
approval..
